Looking for strong lightweight alternative Does anyone make "OLD" style 10 bolt diffs. as a direct swap for the "Late model" 10 bolt. (F-Body)
I want a lighter alternative to the 12 bolt and the 9 inch.

All this light weight nonsense is annoying. No matter what rear you install, its GOING to create more drivetrain loss. So get something strong and proven.

For me (Baby Cam Molester) that is a huuuge difference.
Thanks for input so far, but still haven't answered my Q:

I was going to put a rear end off too, then i noticed that each time i went to the track, someone broke their 10 bolt. I didnt wanna play around and end up paying 300 for another 10 bolt, JUST to pay the same 2200 later on...its money savings in the long run..
