The rear end out housing of the burb is no good, so I'm back to square one. The gears look OK, and I could put them in the trucks housing, but I was wanting the extra width of the burb rearend.

So, if anyone has or knows of a 10 or 12 bolt with either 3.42's or 3.73's, and roughly 58"-59" between axle flanges, please let me know!! It doesn't have to be 73-87 specific either, I can cut and reweld pads and brackets. But it does need to be a 5x5 bolt pattern.

Bob, call me later. My buddy Jason (with the Black 78) just got a 12 bolt, drum to drum, today that he is pulling the gears out of for his truck. He will make you a great deal...trade...if you want the housing. And he will pass his current gears to you with it. Call me this evening & I will talk to you more. :metal:

Yo! glock!
You asked and I could not resist,...here's one hell of a rear end for you:

That's funny!

LOL!!! I'll take two!!

Yo! Thought ya might like that one, I've bookmarked it!
Did you find the rear end you were looking for, glock,...er, did ya get one,...I mean,...geeze!
Todd.

I think I got him hooked up with my buddies extra rear end. :lol: I could not resist it. Sorry Bob.

OMG!!
Todd.

did you get a rear end? we have on im sure my cousin will want to give away.. its out of a burb and its 5on5

I haven't picked up one yet, so heck yeah!

Bob, I take it Jason never called you. Sounds like Tucknuts has a better option for you anyway. I have to get my Vortec motor to Denver next Wednesday, if you can work it out I would be down to help if we combine the 2 trips. Go to Denver, trade my motor for my new tranny, and then go down there and grab your new rear end. Let me know.

well he said if you come get it then its yours. he doesn't have a need for it as he is going with a ford 9"

Tucknuts, that's freaking awesome!!!! Yeah, I'll definitely take it! Could you PM me either your phone number or his so I can get directions? Thanks a ton man!! Rep points left for you!

Gerald, I think I can get Wednesday off if you still want to do that. That would be awesome if you could help me out with getting it. I know a great BBQ place to stop at on the way home. :D Rep points for you too!

BTW Gerald....... were you by chance drinking anything last night??? :lol:

No drinking last night...:haha: that is why I thought it was you chasing prairie dogs. :haha:
Give me a call to figure out the plan for Wednesday.

If anybody needs someone to chauffeur them to get a part. Just let me know. And Bob will tell you, I am pretty good at it. :D

He is!!!

Bob, let me know if this doesn't work out. I may have an extra after next Wednesday... See this thread:

Thanks Tony. If your thinking the one out of the Blazer though, I think it is too narrow. The rear end in my 72 Blazer is narrower that the 85's rear end. And it's 6 lug.

I won't be sure what I'm getting until Wednesday. I'll measure. The guy thought a Jimmy was a Blazer, so the "matched set of front and rear diffs" he's throwing in could be from anything. I'll know more later.

Now I've just got to find a GMC/Jimmy grill and hood. Otherwise, I've got some trading to do...

Refresh my memory, the GMC hood is the same as the 67-68 Chevy hood, right? I have a 67 GMC grill, but it needs some straightening. You can have it if you don't find anything soon.

Wow, that's nice. I've got a 70 Chevy grill that needs a little work. I'm just starting to remember the differences in the GMC/Chevy fenders. You're right about the hood. The fenders similar to 67-68 Chevy fenders, as well.

Ok, now I'm leaning toward restore. Gotta do some surfing and see what that title will take...

Thanks,
TJ
