Rear ends?
Hello Everyone
I'm building a 1961 gmc step side short box with my dad, Were going to change the crossmember out of a 73-87 truck and run 5by5 wheels with a 454 engine and a 700 R4 or a 4L80E trans. Depending on what I can find in the scrap yard. What I'm not sure what would be the best rear end to run in the truck with 5 bold pattern? Thanks! |

Re: Rear ends?
A GM truck 12 bolt will work just fine. In fact a GM truck 8.5" 10 bolt will work if you don't plan on wide and/or sticky tires..
