I have a 53 chevy 3100 and I want to swap out the rear end. It had a 12 bolt in it when I bought it, but I can't use it because it is worn out. What I need to know is what other cars/trucks had a rear end that will bolt up under there. I am using a T350 automatic trans, and have the RB's bolt on mustang II front end. Please help me out!!!


If at first you dont succeed, try a bigger hammer.

Do you want to keep the six lugs or are you to change to five lug wheels?

I want to go with the same bolt pattern as the front, which is 5 X 4-3/4". I know that I can probably go with a rear end out of any chevy car that has that pattern but I want posi so does anyone know of a rear that will fit under there?

I have a 10 bolt limited slip rear end out of a 77 Camaro in the truck. The track is 1" wider than the front track. Camaro bolt pattern matches your front wheels.

I have the rear from under a '73 Chevelle wagon under mine. The wagon had bigger brakes than the sedans, which I thought was a plus. Mine is not posi, but I've seen similar cars with posi rears, so I know they are out there.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble...
