OK, ive seen that 12 bolt rears are extremely expensive for our cars so ive been looking for alternatives. So my question is would the rear end from a GMC truck fit on our cars and would it be wise to put on if it does fit? i am pretty sure it would be a close fit since our cars have a pretty wide rear end so im just trying to find out if there is a deffinate answer. thanks.

how much juice are you spraying to need a 12 bolt in a V6? :eek:-Aaron, AKA ATL2001<br />93 3.4L <br /><a href=\"http://www.ilfba.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.ilfba.com</a> -
the S-10's are a alternative, but slightly narrower (your wheels would be like 1/2-1" inside what they are now)
alomst wish that i had gone w/ a 12-bolt. by rebuild ran almost 1/2 the price tag and i still have to replace the worn axle shafts (using moser cometition axles) which are around 300 bones.\'01 Mineral Grey SVT Cobra<br />-former F-body ownerComment

AHve you broken your rear yet?
If not don't weat it, you are going to need alot of power and alot of traction to need a 12 bolt.
used 10-bolts are cheap like $200-250.Comment

Whats the application and raceweight? What gear you want to run?
I was able to cut a 1.4 60' on my 10 bolt at a 3050lb raceweight with a 3.42 gear.Keith - Chicago<br /><a href=\"http://www.hptuners.com\" target=\"_blank\">HP Tuners - PCM Reprogramming</a><br /><a href=\"http://www.dxsoftware.com/magnus/\" target=\"_blank\">97 Firebird V6 to LS1 swap</a><br /><b>V8 9.967@132.78</b> 1.322 60\' NA Heads/Cam<br /><b>V8 10.295@128.48</b> 1.363 60\' NA Cam Only<br /><b>V8 10.987@119.31</b> 1.422 60\' NA Stock Internals<br /><b>V6 13.674@98.22</b> NA<br /><b>V6 12.394@104.91</b> N20 100HPComment
