Re: [Chevelle-list] 12-bolt rear

[Herb Lumpp]

Ok.  Down the road I intend to rebuild the rear end in my Blazer.  After hearing about what other people have gone through getting rears built and the cost involved, I started thinking it might be more cost effective to get a new Strange S60 or Moser unit built to fit my truck.  That way I can get a Detroit Locker, 35 or 40 spline axles, gears of my choice, etc.  On top of that, if an aftermarket version of the car 12-bolt is stronger than the factory truck version, even better.   Thanks.   Herb -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 05, 2006 8:21 PM To: Chevelle-list@chevelles.net Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] 12-bolt rear In a message dated 9/5/2006 8:17:20 PM Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi Tom,   Obviously the truck rear (in my case Blazer) uses leaf springs.  Since the case is different, car 12-bolt internal components don't interchange.  Ok.  Next question, is it weaker than a car 12-bolt?  Thanks.   Herb Not that I am aware of.  A 12 bolt car rear is pretty stout.  The only rears stronger are the 9" Ford and a Dana 60.   Tom
