Does Anyone Know !! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I found out that my rear axle housing is slightly bent ( my left rear tire is pointed inward) and I need to replace it. Does anyone know which rear ends will fit a 72 coil spring longbox. Like would one from a 72 Chev car or station wagon have the same drum to drum length as my truck. I have line on a 75 Suburban with a 454 in it ( dont know if its a 1/2 or 3/4 ton yet) and and am wondering if anyone knows if the rear end from that would bolt into my truck.

Your big problem is going to be trailing arm mounts.

**Already Gone** · 06-08-2005, 01:40 PM

Hi Gloryhound.. So from your comment about trailing arm connectors I should find a rear end from a 67/72 with the trailing arm mounts.

GloryHound · 06-08-2005, 01:55 PM

Well you can weld your origional onto a new axle if you or someone you know is a welder of any skill level. The fastest is to find one from a 67-72 with the mounts there. I think it was Burnsman who was selling one.

I have a few. Shipping could be a pain though. I'd scout the local yards for a rear. If's yours is a 72 (I'm assuming 5 lug), I'd shoot for the 71/72 rear, as they had 5 lug. You could also update to a newer rear and weld the mounts on it (as Gloryhound said). I've done that before too.
