If you wanna be picky, I was agreeing with the fact that it would not have been a 7.5'' ten bolt like the one we have. Although, I have owned five 70s F-Bodys. Three Camaros and Two Firebirds. They all had a 8.5'' ten bolt.
While I was aware that the 10 bolt has came in several diameters over the years, I have never saw anything other than the 8.5'' in an F-Body. But then again, I don't claim to have seen everything either. I will do a little research. Maybe I will learn something today.

Oh. I have no intention of being a smarty pants. I try to make my tone reflect that but words only is a handicap for me. All I was really stating is it might not have been that specific yet it WAS a 10 bolt.
I always put myself out there. That is how you learn. Who cares if people "yell" at you or call you stupid. You get the info and its just the internet. I don't doubt your info but I never take anything even myself as 100% correct.
Anyways, I am not out there trying to pin it on you.

ive been 1.53 on s bone stock 10 bolt with 3.73...ive seen local guys with stock gears and eaton hit 150 off the line in a 3700 pound car and go 1.42
stock gears are alot stronger, but id say ten bolts are weak and a waste of time and money, only thing ive heard is any good is to weld the axle tubes, thats the only money besides gears id ever waste on a ten bolt
