The stock 9 bolt in my car is going south so im looking for a new axle. I found a 10 bolt thats set up pretty nice. I need to know what its gona take for me to get it into the car. Its set up for a 3rd gen so the main part should bolt straight in. The only problem is that it doesnt have any brakes on it. It was setup for 11" drums but I want to run discs. He says its bare now so what exactly would I need to put disc brakes on this thing?? I know discs, calipers & pads, but where would I get the caliper mounting brackets and everything??? Think I could make the ones off my 9 bolt work??? This 10 bolt is a 8.5" ring gear one if that makes a difference. Thanks for the help everyone.

 

Why not put a new posi unit in your 9 bolt? They are $445.

Thats why.
i can get used 9 bolt complete for less then $400. Its only gota last about 7 months until the car goes down for restoration this summer. Then shes getting a Strange 12 bolt.

 

8.5 inch rear gear isn't stock for any thirdgen--who manufactured the rear? That will help in figuring out what parts you might need.
