Re: 1972 Chevy p/u NewType Build

12 bolt is still a great rear end. I had one under my truck and it makes well over 600 HP. Takes some serious coin to put a 9 inch under them because you have to change the axles among other things. I have considered it too but the 12 bolt held up fine even on the track with stock axles. I also have one that I could get fairly easily but have wondered these questions that you have. Maybe someone who knows more than us can clue us in? Nothing looks better than a 9 inch either
