Rear end question
Rear end question A friend of a friend is selling a rear end. He claims it is a 12 bolt, but I am not so sure it is. He said it came out of a 3/4 ton pickup, but it only has 10 case bolts.
Can anyone tell me any way to verify if it is truely a 12 bolt or if it is a 10 bolt?

Once again. Ring gear.

you can also find other 9" in things like torinos, lincolns, mustangs, vans, tbirds and so on from the seventies and eighties.

true, but i will let you all in on a little secret.
check out the catalogs made just for stock car racing. and the sites that sell used racing parts. alot of these companies even make custom tubular a-arms for alot less then the cost to buy them from jegs or summit.
