71 MONTE 4 YA Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Someone told me that we could put one in our First Gen and have the posi and rear disc brakes. Anyone know for sure about this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikstudie Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I think the axle tubes are longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigmatic Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Measure backing plate to backing plate and see for sure but I think Mike is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyKenny Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I'd do this if it was possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy's Auto Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Ours are 54 plate to plate, 90's B bobies are 59.5 plate to plate. You could do it but you would need rims off a all wheel drive Blazer or Bravada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
502ci Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Or just special order some 8" rally wheels with 7 3/4" of back spacing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike 57 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 8 inch rally wheels with 7 3/4 back spacing and derby caps would look great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike G Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I wonder what the price difference is between adding a rear disk kit and having that rear end cut down to size with new axles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike 57 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I wonder how much you would have to change the attaching points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedfreak71 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Posi tracs are all over craigslist and a new disc brake set up is only a few hundred. No need to swap to a weaker rear end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
