Re: Olds 12 bolt rear end to trade
Furback, why would you call this person "some idiot"? That was a popular swap back in the day, as 12-bolt Chevy rears were sometimes triple the price of an Olds or Pontiac 12-bolt, thanks to all the hype about Chevy 12-bolts in magazines.
Why not just keep the 12-bolt that's in there? The Olds has bolt-in axles, and is a damn tough rear end. It worked under W-30 cars, it should work under a Chevy.
Life is too short to worry about what other people think when looking underneath your car. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]
Unless of course you're doing a full tilt restoration, then I can see the need for an original Chevy 12-bolt, but you didn't ask about certain codes, just any old 12-bolt Chevy rear would do.
