i have been looking for an axle for a little while now and so far i havn't had much luck. My 2.73 peg leg posi is broke and Im looking for a 10 bolt 3.45 posi axle with drum brakes on it I have checked several junk yards but none of them have the one that I am looking for and they are VERY expensive. where would my best bet be to find one? I am going to look some more tonite but if you guys have any good suggestions please let me know thanx.

 

not going to find a 10 bolt with 3:45's. thats a 9 bolt ratio. You would be looking for a 3:42 for a 10 bolt. Early cars could have 3:73's, but crappy disc brakes

 

o yeah oops my bad lol the 3.42 would be great. do you know of any good places to buy one of these?

 

why replace the old crap you have with old crap from a junk yard. You might want it cheap but when you have to replace the 20+ year old parts you just installed again when they break buying new would have been your best bet.

 

You might luck out and someone on here who has swapped their rear end out for a 9" or 12bolt may still have their 10bolt lying around.

i have a 9bolt laying around with 3.27 gears, posi and rear disk brakes. problem tho is that i ripped off the brackets to swap them to my ford 8.8 i fabbed up. i still have the axle brakets for the LCAs for the 9bolt and it has UMI LCARBS already welded on.

you just have to look around i guess... i found 3 forth gen rears with disks and posi's at local salvage yards. couldnt be that much money... i got my ford 8.8 for like 300$ im sure the 4th gen rear would have been close to that.
