If you want 6 lug shafts for the 76 rear, you can use stock shafts for a 71-87 4WD. Your 66 shafts are too short for the 76 rear.

HEY!!! I just saw your post and was wondering if you knew where to get the kit you mentioned for the trailing arms?
Im working with an extream drop GMC C10 and the pinion angle is going to be way wrong. I knew i was going to have to vut the mounting perches off the rear end and re weld them back to where the pinion angle is at a more useable height, buit if they make the brackets still, i wont have to worry so much about saving the origional ones!
Thanks for the input!
