ya you are right about the 71-72 axles thing... I guess the easiest and least expensive for me is to take the rear diff from my 85 and mount it in.. But has anyone done this on a suburban body and been able to use the stock 8 inch gm truck rally wheels? The fact that the diff is 1.5 inch wider has me nervous...is there lots of room back there for the extra width and wider rim??
