10 bolt rear

[verdell]

Has anyone out there used a 10 bolt rear end on a 60-66 fleetside? From what ive researched, they are slightly wider than my 12 bolt 1966 rear..currently i'm running a 8 x 10 rear wheel with 275 60-15 tire and i have plenty of clearance under the fender..i've found one thats 3.42 posi for dirt cheap but not sure if i want to do away with my old 12 bolt...any thoughts or comments would be appreciated..

It would probably hold together if your not hard on it, any 66 to 71 is the same length, they got 1 inch wider in 72 I believe, so there are a lot out there...

just depends on how much power you plan on putting to the ground.

is a govloc not a posi and its a turd in box. that 383 is going to chew that axle up like mashed potato's in a croc pond.


the swap it self is pretty simple, get a conversion ujoint and a peair of aftermarket axle perchs and you are good to go.

but i wouldnt bother.
