70 camaro 12 bolt questions?
Hears the scoop guys, I have a 70 camaro currently with a 10 bolt with drum brakes. I want to upgrade to a 12 bolt posi and also want to run disc brakes. Also i have aftermarket wheels I put on car and they dont fit quite perfect i would like them to come out just a bit more. I am trying to do this a cheap as possible and strength is not going to be an issue with the horsepower i have at this time. So i was think if I could find a 12 bolt posi out of a pickup that it would prolly be wider so I could take it to the local axle shop and have them cut and weld it up to my desired length. I plan on keeping the leaf springs but may upgrade to the hotchkis tvs kit so the only thing i would have to do is cut brackets off housing and make and weld on new brackets on for springs and shocks right? So if i could find a 12bolt posi out of a pick up with 5 x4 3/4 lug pattern axles and disc brakes i would be hitting a home run right? If the lug pattern is not right i could deal with that just get different axles, but what about the brakes is it easy enough to convert it from drum to disc? I will be thankful for and info i can get as well as any pointers you might have for me, thanks
Thank god for race gas!
