Thanks for that. I have a C10 rear I was going to use, but it is wider than the old axle at least 3.5" That said, I'll look for an earlier one and compare them.

The new rear drop leaf spring system from TCI will need all of the old hangers and brackets cut off the axle, as it has it's own mounting system. I don't know if that changes your opinion on the Camaro.

Again, thanks for helping me figure out what I want to do.
