Re: olds Bravada rear disc differential in a 1972 coil spring truck
Are you referring to the Oldsmobile that is based off the Chevy S-10 Blazer? I don't think that will fit, as it's too narrow. It's also a 5x4.75 bolt pattern, whereas the full size trucks are 5x5. I could be wrong, but I don't think it will work.

Re: olds Bravada rear disc differential in a 1972 coil spring truck
Mike,
Yeah, that's the one. Just looking for a alternative to rear disc/posi rear ends to swap out. the 1997 & up explorer's are about 1/2" narrower but pretty stout, I'd rather keep the GM parts though. I'm trying to search and see if anyone has had any luck with these. Thanks for the input. Ben Smith |

Re: olds Bravada rear disc differential in a 1972 coil spring truck
Why not a simple rear disc conversion on the 12 bolt that is already in there? The Impala SS rear disc conversion is inexpensive and works great. Plus you wont have to cut and weld new axle perches, get adapters for your wheel bolt pattern, etc...
