Jockbolter- Is that a Jeep rearend in your truck?
No Sir,it's a Borg Warner 'metric' unit from a Gen-3 Firebird.
It was a swap meet special but thankfully the I.D. tag was still attached to one of the diff cover bolts.
It's 3.27:1 ratio with Posi and as you've probably seen,disc brakes.
If you saw my Flickr pics I have also changed out the bespoke diagonal 4 link to a parallel one from Dannys Original Customs in Ca.
The diagonal link wasn't very well done and caused some serious pucker moments while driving at speed!
Strangely the axle with the cast iron calipers have one leading and one trailing so there has been some interference issues with the parking brake arm on the left hand side.
With the new four link the axle mounts foul the actuator arm for the left hand parking brake which is the trailing one.
Although i've noticed the ones with alloy calipers both lead,so will try and find some to convert it when funds and time allow.
Frankly it's a little tired too (a bit clunky when selecting gears) but a rebuild kit for this particular one seems to be also the most expensive and elusive,at least here in Blighty.
