Will 86' GMC rear end bolt right up to my 66' C-10?
 

Like the subject lines says, I wanna know if the rear end from an 86' will bolt up to my 66' C-10.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

no,its 1.5" wider and the brackets are different. www.earlyclassic.com sells the brackets you need to install it.

No, but i just seen a kewl kit from Chevy Duty. Kinda pricey but
it makes any 73 to 87 rearend work as long as it is 61" from backing plate to backing plate. Comes with axle seats, adjustable track bar and track bar mounting brackets. Just need a welder.



:burnout:

Wish I knew an affordable welder in my area! Oh well, I'll just look for a stock rear end for it then... The original 6 lug (what were they again? Dana something I think) was taken out and a 5 lug was thrown in. True, it drives well on the freeway, and I'm sure the original gearing was lower, but I've got a freshly rebuilt 700R4 for it and I'd like to be able to use the same rims on it front and back. I like the 6-lug look too. I want a work truck / daily driver, so I figure lower gearing along with the 700R4 would give me want I'm look'n for... Anyone know where I can get ahold of a stock rear end for this thing?

Hey, is a 66' GMC 1/2 ton still considdered a C10? It's a SB Step Side with a... 292 if I remember right.
