Default factory 12 bolt????

anyone ever heard of a factory 12 bolt. a guy on a local forum says he has a factory 12 bolt for sale from a 1994 formula. i dont recall a 12 bolt ever being factory.

To the best of my knowledge, no 4th gen F-body ever came with a 12-bolt from the factory. Now, you could get a 3rd gen Firehawk with a Dana 44, but those were few and far between.

a 12 bolt was never a factory option.

I wish they were, it would push the price of aftermarket rears down about 500-800 from current pricing.

The last of the 12 bolts went in trucks in the 80's. They haven't come in cars since 1973, or at least F Body cars.
