Hey, I may be able to get a good condition, factory 12bolt piece off a friend for very cheap.

How much better would a factory 12 bolt be then our shitty *** rears? What else would I need to install the 12bolt and what "mods" should I do on the 12bolt to make it stronger? (gonna definitely change the gearing and a limited slip if it doesn't have one).

a "factory" 12 bolt out of what? and how are you planning on attaching the torque arm?

Doesn't anybody create axle packages for the 12bolt as they do with the 9"?

you can get axles made for anything. you need the f-body spring perches, panhard bracket, lca brackets, and a torque arm mount that was never made into any other rearend other than the 7.5 10 bolt f-body rearend. it's not a axle issue... it's the housing.

Well put...so to the original poster, are you buying a housing, or the internals?

I'm not sure if its just the internals or the housing also... I just know its a 12bolt center piece.

Only thing with 12 bolts and a 'center piece' like a ford 9" is a chevy rear from the 50's, which is garbage these days.
