I am going to put a disk brake conversion kit (71-78 camero) on the front and I would like to keep it all one year and make of car. I also want a narrower rear end to put on wider tiers. The guy at the Salvage yard recomended a 64 Impala rear end. | | |

Seriously, check out this ChevyTrucks.org page for a handy rear-end table or two. Looks like your pick-up would be 62" flange to flange and a '71 Camaro comes in at either 60" or 61-1/2". Pretty close, but getting out the tape measure on both donor and recipient will be the test. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 40 Member | | Member Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 40 | If its possible , why not take the rearwheels off (if it has any now) and maybe even remove the rear axle completely . then you can slide in a pair of wheel/tire combo's you want to use and see if they will clear the frame and fenders . get them blocked into the right spot and measure the inside to inside axle width off of the wheels , then you can see what you will need to make this combo work . | | | | | Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 336 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 336 | No its short for Hamonthabone | | | | | Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 438 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 438 | thanks Ham-on
