Re: my 87 chevy project

ohhh it's a 6 lug 12 bolt.

We tried finding one around here, perfect ratio for us too lol 4.10 or bigger. I think all you need is 5 lug axles and you're set. My old man ended up settling for some 3.90 gears to put in his 10 bolt. he tried to find a rear end around here and didn't have much luck. We did have a 12 bolt 5 lug with 4.11's in it, it got scrapped with another truck. Now we wished we had it LOL.

Do me a favor though man, get lots of pics and details when making this frame a 2wd one. I may be doing the same thing soon. I'm actually trying to find a cab and frame to build my own truck and the frame I get may be 4x4.

I'd also try and save the leaf spring hangers and stuff other ppl may be looking for them or need them.

Don't know if you have to paint it, that's just the way I did mine. Could probably have it rechromed.
