The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Driveline Colorado rear end for 48 Chevy truck

Has any used the Chevy Colorado rearend under an advance design truck. I currently have a ten bolt under my truck that needs a total rebuild and thought this would be a good option. I would want to run a 5 on 4 3/4 bolt pattern and I believe the Colorado rear ends are 6 bolt.

IIRC from when I measured on in the shop, they come out to right at 63", give or take. They do have a 6x5.5 bolt pattern. You might want to consider the 10 bolt from a 4x4 S10 with the ZR2 package, '98-'04. Those are basically a narrowed version of the full size truck 10 bolt, only with the 5x4.75 bolt pattern. They also have factory rear disk brakes, and usually a factory gov-lok system.
