1966 Rear End Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have become the guy I used to hate! Someone with a cherry "barn find". I think I just scored a 1966 Chevrolet C-10 "BARN FIND". I have known the truck for 25 years, always parked in a local barn but the owner would never part with her. Finally a few years ago she was retired, but still not for sale. Well, the owner called me a few days ago and I think we may have a deal!!

This will move to the front of my project list to become a bullet proof daily driver.

It will be a few days before I can get back under her and I am curious. What was the factory rear end in a 1966 C-10? 10 or 12 bolt? If I determine her rear end to be weak (

) what is the readily available, the right length and strong enough for a healthy 283 4spd?

Thanks for the input!

Jerry
