I wont have it long once someone see's it..,Hard to find..limited produced..I have it on CL and soon it will go on ebay...


Get a posi unit out of a 91-96 caprice or roadmaster...90% of wagons had posi...the spid lable in inside the tailgate on the right side. G80 is posi..

They are the old clutch type and will bolt right in. You need 2 wheels pulling that BB

Again, thanks but no thanks. I am not concerned about the little 8.5 10 bolt axle with him driving it, especially as light as the truck is and the fact it never tows anything. If I come across a 5 lug 9.5” axle for a lot less than $600 and not 1,500 miles away I’ll think about it. The 5 lug 9.5" axles also came in many ½ ton 2wd long bed extended cab trucks of that era. So they are not just limited to 454SS trucks. That said, they are not that rare around here but certainly not as easy to find as a 14 bolt full floater.
