Need some rear axle help

Hey guys I have a bit of an unusual situation. I have a 66 442 that I tore down years ago and am starting to get to work on it. Body is currently on a rotisserie and I am working on getting a rolling chassis going. The problem I am having is a metal scrapper stole my rear axle and scrapped it. I didn’t realize it for a week or so after. I purchased a 10 bolt locally out of a 67 Chevelle but I am thinking this axle may not work. I don’t see any provisions for the rear antisway bar (or does the sway bar only bolt to the lower control arms)and the spring perches may be different. Anyone know what the differences between the BOP and Chevy 10 bolts are? Anyone have a good pic of a BOP axle? I stupidly didn’t take pics during tear down. I have these suspension components but can’t remember how they go in. (See pics)




I am pretty sure the pieces on the left sandwich between the frame and the top of the front coil springs. I cant remember how the center and right pieces go in. They don’t appear to fit on this axle.





Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Chevy rear will bolt right in. Just need a u-joint swap Moog 372 will do that.
You will not need any of that garbage laying on the ground retaining lower spring cups the other things are spring jacker not needed unless your going for the 1970 retro looks...lol.
Bolt it in and go!

Lowers and uppers all in the same locations on the rears. your width should be 55.25 flange to flange and or 61" overall.


brakes will all bolt up and wheel bolt pattern is the same.

Those pieces aren’t stock? They were on the car when I took it apart so I assumed they were OEM. This is great news. Thanks for the response Monzaz I really appreciate it.
