I am looking at buying a 1985 1/2 ton GMC Suburban and will be parting it out cause it was taken off the road as unroadworthy cause of the rust. My question is depending on what rear end it has and I'm assuming it will have a 10 bolt with 3:08's unless I get real lucky ( I should check my horoscope) and find a 3:42 posi, other than having to attach (weld) the trailing arm saddles to the rear end, will it go into my 72? I guess what I need to know is it the same length as the original in my 72.
