I have a disc brake rear end that I bought for my '78 camaro, but I sold the car and I was wondering if that rear end would work on my 67 swb. Is it too short or too long, or can I take the discs off of that and put it on my rear end I have now. the rear end I have now is 3:73 five lug. If someone could help that would be great. thanks

It will be too narrow and the spring perches will be different (trucks use a wider spring). You *might* be able to unbolt the brake stuff off the TA rear and bolt it on the truck if you get the right rotors. THe truck will have a 5x5" bolt pattern where the TA will have a 5x4.75" pattern. Maybe a pair of 71-73 front discs on back? Not sure.
Good Luck. CoryM

My '67 has a camaro rear end, is not finished tough and it kind of looks like to be a bit narrow, but I'm gonna use wide wheels, I'll see if I can find a pic of it later.

any rear that is not 63-72 willrequire some form of weldingtomakework, EXCEPT for leaf spring trucks, those only requireone shockmount relocation, do you have coils or leaves rear under your truck ? if coils then only 63-72will work
also keepinmindthat car 5lug is not same as truck 5lug |

I have about 5 or 6 5 lug rear ends that have drums brakes. The rear end I have under my frame right now is a 3:73 with drums, is there any car/truck that has a simular mounting for discs or is it easier to buy a kit, to put discs on the rear? Thanks for the info already, but if anyone could add anything that would help a lot.
