Who makes 8.5 ten bolts for the 82-92 camaro??? Can I just weld on the braces off of an old rearend??

 

no one makes then that i know of and welding the brackets on wouldn't work, you'd need the torque arm. moser and strange make 12 bolts and 9" rears for thirdgens

By the time an 8.5 would help you over a stock rear, you might as well go ahead and step up to a 12-bolt or 9". The cost to build would be about the same, but the 8.5 would be the weakest of the three.
