Re: 1970 GMC Suburban... for the family

Jeremy,

I see your using the Tahoe/Blazer for a storage shelf. You still driving it? I have to put a rear end in my daughters 92. It will be receiving the one that came out of my 93 Suburban reusing her axles and bearings with some new seals. She blew up the gov-lock and destroyed the cover, carrier, and most of the gears. I am modifying the 93 Suburban 10 bolt to make it an LSD. I remove the flyweight and cam add some spacers and shims to tighten up the LSD and wa la, a reliable rear axle. 3 out of our 4 family vehicles have had 10 bolts with gov-locks explode. The advantage of using a Suburban rear axle is the rear brakes are 11 inches instead of 10. I have to slightly modify the shock mounts to make it fit properly.
