Just make sure that the one from the Olds is a real 12 bolt.The B.O.P (buick ,olds,pontiac) rear used ten bolt guts but was drilled for a 12 bolt cover.They are usually cheaper because of this reason.
You could try the Englishtown swapmeet at the end of Sept. i think its the 27-29.You will save alot on shipping.I have spots RD7-9 and may have some Monte parts there,or just come by and say Hello.
I would say 15X7 rim in front 215-70R15 tire.
Rear=15x8 rim 4.5 backspace and a 275-60r15 tire.
all the rims have a 15x8 style trim ring and 68 center cap.
MY 71 Monte has power door locks and manual windows.My 69 Lemans convert has power windows and manual locks.My 77 lemans wagon has power windows and no power locks.People ordered them that way.
I had read that in 71-72 that if the sport steering wheel was optioned in a non SS model that the steering wheel and column were painted the interior color,if it was on an SS they were all black.
I also read that plant workers went on strike for 67 days from sept. - mid nov. That caused GM to use some of the left over parts from 1970 on the 1971 model cars.
You have to look at your u-joint it might bolt right in.I had to get what is called a "trick joint" it has the small caps on one side and the large caps on the other.I got it at my local NAPA auto parts.Also look to see if your joint has inner or outer clips,or if it is org.to the car it may still have the nylon in it.
Yes James the rear end will bolt in with no problem.You may need to change you ujoint on your drive shaft.I put a 12 bolt from a 70 MC into my 69 Lemans convert.with no problem i needed to change the ujoint.
I was looking through paint codes and charts and seems like code 67 Classic Copper was a 1 year color on Monte carlos 1971 ,Is this true? I found it for 2 years on Chevelles and Camaros 70-71.
I know of the one on E-BAY. Its got some rust issues.If i am going to go through the process of replacing the quarters, i really dont want to start with something like that.I will try koniks and Carlisle in the spring. Thanks for you help !!!!!
You see NOS ones pop up from time to time but are big $$$.I bought a drives side in Nov. for $799 +shipping all said and done $1000.Now i need a passenger one!!!
The BOP 12 bolts were 10 bolt housings that were drilled out for the 12 bolt cover from GM.I dont know why they did this? The rear you bought should hold up fine.
