So i will stick with my plan of swapping my 72 rear into it. |
A pretty good idea! You can use 73-up axles in the 72 rear (I'm pretty sure...) finding good 73-up axles is a do-able deal. I have saved 3-4 over the years, have one 71 rear, waiting to go in my 67.
Sounds like someone swapped in a junker for the original posi rear...who knows when...
Swapping to 5 lug was thankfully gotten cheaper, lately. You can buy Moser c-clip axles for $260.00/pair, and just have to buy 71-72 drums to convert an earlier 6 lug rear end.
Don't be talk'n about snowbanks!!!
