Rear end swap
If your going to put the 78 rear under your 69 you'll have to cut the spring perches off, relocate them and reweld. You may also have to relocate the shock mounts also. Be carefull not to cut into the axle tube. Use the measurements & pinion angle from the old rear, and you should be good to go.
I did the same but with a 12 bolt rear. Gary |
