just a little fyi
car rear ends are different from truck rear ends.
a car 12 bolt rear is different from a truck 12 bolt. so you gotta have a truck setup. also i think there are different carriers for different axle ratios.
dont take this as gospel but i think if you have a 3 series posi setup you can have 3:08 to maybe 3:55 gears and a 4 series carrier can get you 3:73 to maybe 4:88 gears. some one who knows for sure chime in and say for sure
also i think there are 2 different axle widths in the 67-72 models. again maybe some one here knows the low down on it. hope that helps some.
