Re: Eaton HO72/HO52 vs. 14 Bolt FF

This really is a great thread.
I had a question. (I'm afraid I may already know the answer)
63GMCkid mentioned that the carriers are somewhat similar.
Is there anyway someone could fit a posi unit in a HO72?

Thanks

Good news from what I read here Nick, YES.

Get the Detroit Locker for a 14 bolt and use shortened, by .250" or so, 14 bolt axles. Look at THIS ENTRY for the "guts swap"
