If it's in an old pickup just throw a 9" in it you will easily be able to do that

You can pick up a used 12-bolt or 9" for a little more than that. I sold my 12-bolt for about $1500.

As was stated earlier, it's not worth the money to invest in a 10-bolt.

you really want to spend 1200 or so in a 10 bolt when in the back of your head you know it may blow any time ......the truck weighs way more than an f-body ,any kind of power with the extra weight will be short lived for the 10bolt .when you can get a 12 bolt for 1800 or so ....its a no brainer just get a 12 bolt and do it right from the first time
