I've got some questions regarding rebuilding the rear diff
I'm about to tackle the complete rebuild of my fathers truck for my mom which is a cancer survivor (For now) and I am lost on a few things.
I bought the CPP rear 5 lug axle conversion kit (That uses drums etc) but wanted to really go Disk, oh well. I need to blow apart the stock rear diff housing to have the housing powdercoated. Once I have the housing coated I need to build it back out with all new hardware. We are looking at a Posi and probably 3.73 gears. How do I know what Posi unit and what fitment I need (Do all GM 12 bolts translate?) How do I know what gears to get and what else will I need? I will need to take all of it to a chassis shop and have them setup everything on a bench so I can just install the whole rolling assembly onto the frame.
