The actual technical name is thrust block. It is 2 pieces that slide together at the very center of the differential to take up the slack and so the axle end play can be adjusted at only one axle end.

I hate to sound stupid but...Buttons? I'm pretty familiar later w/ 8 3/4's but have never heard of this.

You will need buttons for the center of the pig if your going to use the stock Timken bearings. If your going to run Green bearings you will not need the buttons. If your rear end is 64 and back, you will need the correct axles and buttons. Timken bearings are great, but I do prefer the Moser Green bearings. I have had great luck with them, some people have not. The Green bearings make life easy. You can run a pre 65 posi in a 65 and newer housing. Earl Will I need different axles to replace the Open rear in my '64 to a Sure-grip? Stock 8 3/4 rearend.
