Dude, dont wait, put that bad boy in it will bolt right up, probably the difference in #s is the rotor/drum differences. good luck. By the way, a rear end from 82 to 02 camaro/ ta will interchange, just minor parking brake cable work is involved.:rockon:

you're telling me that all 3rd and 4th gen rear ends are completely interchangable? If thats true...do the 4th gens use a 10bolt or 12?
