Re: Posi rear differential factory option?

Probably your best bet would be buy an aftermarket performance posi, like Auburn gear

GM also offered posi for the front of the K-models, although seldom seen
Yea that front factory Posi is longtime dream of mine… I’ve only seen a few in the time I’ve been messing with the old GM stuff.
