Corporate 14 Bolt 3/8" Differential Cover

Heavy‑Duty Welded Armored Cover for GM & Chevy 3/4‑Ton & 1‑Ton Trucks

This 3/8″ thick diff cover is engineered to protect your Corporate 14 Bolt axle on GM trucks under serious trail and towing use. Made from high-strength A50 plate steel and fully welded inside and out, it delivers rugged durability where it counts.

The one-piece cap is bent eight ways and welded to a matching 3/8″ ring, then CNC-machined flat to ensure a perfect seal—no leaks, no fuss. Compatible with both full-float and ribbed 14 Bolt housings; not compatible with AAM axles.

Key Features:

  • Part Number: R1266‑Kit‑3
  • Material: 3/8″ thick A50 plate steel (50,000 PSI)
  • Fitment: Corporate 14 Bolt axles (GM/Chevy 3/4 Ton and 1 Ton trucks)
  • Design: One-piece cover bent 8 ways and welded to 3/8″ ring
  • Surface: CNC-machined flat for leak-free sealing
  • Installation: Bolt-on with or without optional bolt kit
  • Bolt Options (sold separately): M8 x 1.25‑30 mm or 3/8″ x 1″ bolts with washers
  • Made in the USA
  • Backed by RuffStuff’s Lifetime Guarantee

 

This cover can be purchased with or without diff cover bolts. We offer two hardware kits depending on your axle’s bolt thread size:

 

  • M8 x 1.25 – 30mm bolts with washers: Commonly used on newer GM axles with metric threads.
  • 3/8" x 1" bolts with washers: Typically found on older 14 bolt axles with standard threads.

Both bolt kits are high-strength, zinc-coated Grade 8 hardware, designed for maximum clamping force and corrosion resistance.

Nice Cover

Excellent cover, very beefy and welds look great. Went to install it the night before a big wheeling trip and half of the holes didn't line up with the threaded holes in the housing. So I drilled out all of the holes 1/16 bigger and I got it to fit. Overall, awesome cover just wish it bolted right up without having to modify it

Great heavy duty, solid cover. Side holes were off by a tiny bit, didn't match correctly. Really hard to bolt to diff. But awesome cover.

Don't question, just buy it!

If you think you're on the fence about whether or not you need a cover this bomb proof, just buy it and never worry about what your diff could be hitting because it won't matter with this cover!

Unbeatable, but beatable!

Incredible covers. Nearly Indestructible. I will ALWAY buy ruff stuff diff covers over others. Buy one and be done (until you swap axles or build another rig...

Only thing i would like to see is a fill hole. Factory is in the diff itself, but those plugs can be a pain.

Thanks for another awesome product!

Outstanding Prodict

3/8 steel isn't quite FMJ proof however its not gonna get a hole poked in it like a stock tin cover or those silly aluminum covers. GM Corp FF is my favorite rear end... This is the first cover that's worth of installing over stock.
