'55 2nd Series, rear end swap
 

Howdy! I am working on my 55 and would like to swap out the stock rear end with a 10 bolt rear end that has disc brakes. What years and models would be good candidates for something like this? Orrrr is it even possible? I don't mind drums either but prefer disc brakes. And a posi would top it all off. :metal: Any insight would be helpful!

not sure what the 10 bolt was in...
any 3rd gen camero fit in there pretty well and is .5'' narrower than oem 55-59 3100
truk has an 86 trans am w/ discs and a 3.27 posi gear, it is a bastard eaton 9 bolt

Oh nice, what years are the 3rd gen camaros?

I'm gonna use the 10 bolt that was in the '78 camaro I got the front clip out of. Not sure on the gearing...Haven't gotten that far yet.

How did the front clip fit in there? Easy swap? What about disc brakes, does it have them?

Ahhhahaha thats funny as hell!! :lol: Where did you ever find that? And touche...I should have just done it on my own. I don't want to be THAT guy.

Front clip fit fine. ..Lux Blue on the H.A.M.B.... measure, measure, measure.
Disc brakes on the front, but not the rear. I think I read somewhere that the fire chicken had disc brakes on the rear around those years. Not 100% sure.

You can bolt newer f body rear brakes on those rears also
