Following this thread i started: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=793638..i have i think decided to go to a 5x4.75 bolt pattern for my truck. Seems to be a more common front end than the 5x5 i was going after for the drum to disc conversion kits i wanted.

I have sourced what is said to be a 73 Z28 rear end shell. No gears, axles, bearings, backing plates, cover..nothing bot the pumpkin and axle tubes. $20.

I have a rear end from a 75 C10 with 3.08 gears that I was going to use under my 56 but..see thread.

Will those gears fit in the 10bolt 8.5" from the Camaro?

PS thx to those who helped in that thread..mgchevyparts in particular..
