Rear end swap
Will a 93 Chevy 1/2 ton rear end fit in a 72 C10, has anyone here done such a swap?
Thanks, Steven |

Re: Rear end swap
No, not unless you cut the spring pads off and move them , The yoke is diffrent you can get a conversion u joint at NAPA. why not just get a 12 bolt 5 lug 72 rear ? stronger & direct bolt in ....

Re: Rear end swap
I went with a Ford nine inch out of a 78 F-150 3:55 posi $150 at the local junkyard cut the perches off the old rear and welded them onto the new rear. Glad I did!
