Can anyone recommend a reliable rear end rebuilder for my 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Seville? Or where I might get a rebuilt unit. Thanks for any suggestions.

John,
I have no referals for you in your area, but if I had a differential problem I would look for an established truck rear end shop and talk to them.
I believe there is a Cadillac/GMC Truck dealership in Panama City.  Might be worth a call to see what they might suggest.
