2002 rearend

Anybody put a 2002 Silverado rear end in a 72 c10. From what I can gather there about 5 in wider. Sounds like to me might be to wide. I'm just looking for limited slip and disc brakes and I just so happen to have one laying around. Any thoughts

Re: 2002 rearend

So it must have not looked to wide. My problem is I'm doing my frame and drive train with no body and my step side is in pieces. I think I'm gonna try it and hope it don't look to wide.

Re: 2002 rearend

The E-brake set-up is junk on them, if you are considering going with a straight shift. I broke the one in my 2000 Z71 when it was 3 months old, and the E-brake was crap after about a year and half of owning the truck. It was one of the many reasons I sold that truck.

Re: 2002 rearend

i think it will work cause the offset on the 2002 rear wheels would make up the diff
