I'm sure if you post the number on here someone will chime in...If its 2 wheel drive they used 6 lug to 1970 then five after that. 4 wheel drive carried the 6 lug way past on the twelve bolts. The 2 wheel drive will have the perches at an angle like mine. 4 wheel uses leaf springs and the perches will be on the axle strait in stead of angled and also the perches are on the bottom of the axle for height...Joe
perfect mahalo Joe i saw the 12 bolt rear end a while back ago and i remember the perches being at a angle and it is a six lug too,,,,,,,i just remembered i have a 10 bolt posi out of a 69 camaro i had totally spaced on it has 3.73 in it too exactly what i wanted ,has anybody used a passenger car rearend into our trucks ?i know the axle bolt pattern is a lot smaller 5x4 3/4,,, but I can get new axles with six lug pattern i think ? figure money i save using what i got i can afford another set of new axles ,
