Rear Ends.. 60-72
Ok, I think the is a lot of info on this site regards to widths, what came with 5 or 6 lug ect. One thing people should be aware of though is certain years have the backing plates welded to the axle. Why is this an issue?
I went to drop my rear off and get the 4.56's installed. I was planning on running C-clip eliminators and the axles that are in it for now along with the posi unit. Well, since the backing plate doesn't bolt to the axle tubes, the next idea was to go with a 9" end. But that would require new axles do to the ID of the bearing. What went from a $160 addition to my work that was being done for the c-clip e's, now was looking like $90 for the ends, $315-330 for the axles and labor to cut the rear and weld them on another $175. Lucky for me, the had a truck 12 bolt sitting there. It happened to have c-clip e's and moser axles. There how ever was an issue regarding the Pan Hard bar. It connects to the rear just above the rear cover where mine has a bracket welded to the passanger tube. Second issue is the rear was an overal 1" wider than mine. They said they will take the ends off the other housing and put them on mine. Also since I am going with the C-clip e's, they can take a little off the end of the splined section to get my overal width to be the same. So what was going to be a $200 set up and $160 for c-clip e's turned out to be $525.

Re: Rear Ends.. 60-72
I ended up building my rear from a 12 bolt car rear it was about 4 inches narrower so with the right offset wheel I was fine. C clip eliminators was the only thing I didn't put in that rear. I am running an eaton posi, moser axles, richmond gear, and wilwood disk brakes, I put a moser pan bearing cap support pan on it to stiffin it up. Wondering if I should have put the C clip eliminators in now?
Peformance online sells the brackets that weld on to the rear to bolt it to stock trailing arms. |

Re: Rear Ends.. 60-72
The first year for the 12 bolt in a truck was 1963 and for some strange reason GM decided to press the backing plates onto the axle tubes. Then in '64 they went with the welded on flange and a bolt on backing plate. In '65 they changed the panhard bar length and mounting points.

Re: Rear Ends.. 60-72
See all of that is great info and never seems to get mentioned in the "What rear will fit in my truck" threads.. The only thing that ever seems to be mentioned is the widths.. For someone pre 65 wanting a 5 lug conversion, soulds like they might not have a direct replacement.. From noe on, when I see what rear will fit threads, I'll mention it.
