Quickie 10 bolt ID question for ya, I grabbed a cheap 10 bolt, looks like an 8.5" is put of something big with 5 on 5" wheel studs. 4 linked drum brakes. The ring gear has 3/4" headed bolts, and the pinion is 30 spline 1 5/16" Can't seam to find that combo on Randy's or Richmond r&p. Did I get to weird of a rear end?
not a 5x5 pattern its gotta be off a 2wd pickup or caprice,wagon , roadmaster. or the like Edit The 96ish Impy SS had 5x5 as well
Ok, Not to bad then, thanks guys I pulled the drums (it's got new shoes whooho) I can redrill the wheel pattern easily, lot's of meat in there. Last sticky part, it's got a CV style pinion yoke on it. I wonder if I can get a different yoke, or I can get a CV style driveshaft?
I picked up a 10 bolt from a Suburban a while back. It had a "regular" type of pinion yoke on it. It was a 2 wheel drive version, and I think it was an 89. But I've seen the CV joint ones sitting in the junkyard too. Maybe a GM guy can tell you if the yoke will interchange.
i think all or most of the b-body cars had the double u-joints on the pinion side of the driveline. a yoke off of another 10 bolt should fit it, just remember the earlier 10 bolt rears had fewer splines on the pinion.
its a large gm if it has a cv....you cant just change the yoke,,,but you can make it like a ford with a plate on it
