I have a 2.73 non posi rear and i REALLY need a posi in, what would be easier? Buy a posi unit and gears and install that or just find a new used rear end with what i want in it? What is required for this install?? Thanks

 

swaping in a differant rear is by far the easier way to go. setting up gears isn't that hard but requires tools most people don't have. look in the drive train section of your manual and you'll get a good idea what's involved and the tools required. also ron terry has a pretty complete list of tools if you can find some of his old post.

 

How hard it is to swap in a whole new rear end? Any special tools for that?

 

Common hand tools, but some air impact tools would be better.
If you decide to swap rears make sure you get one from 1989 or later. Some will have the Alum PBR rear disc's. why not improve the brakes also.

 

So you can convert drum to disc brakes like that?? There would be no problems?? Thanks
