Re: Differential Question

My 83 had a 10 bolt factory and I have an 80 model with a 10 bolt factory. I believe 79 was the last full year for 12 bolts.

Re: Differential Question

After several searches on car-part.com, it looks like...

2wd could have 10 or 12 from '78-'81
4x4 could have 10 or 12 from '81-'83

So, '77 was the last year that everything had a 12 bolt, an '84 was the first year that everything had a 10 bolt.
