Posi rear end
looking for a decent used posi rear end with gears ranging in size from 3:73 to 3:08. This will be for my 1972 cutlass. 10 or 12 bolt doesnt matter...just want axle to stay the same width so prefer type O
Thanks!
Thanks!

I have a 3;23 posi - 10 bolt rearend out of a 71-72 A body , it is the bolt in style o- axle set up . Ready for install , it is backing plate to backing plate . E-mail me if you need more info . It has been refurbished . BOB

If u get a type O they are hard to find in a posi and hard to find parts for. if ur car is a 72 cutlass then u can do a 70-72 chevelle skylark not for sure but i think nova gt lemans. there are probably more. they are all the same width and bolt ins. the 10 bolt 8.5 parts are everywhere and good priced.

alek72us - only the 'A' body rears will fit, Chevelle, Le Mans, and Special.
Athough close in width, gt[?] and Nova have leaf springs, and won't work.
If I were to change the whole housing, I'd go for a 12-bolt, as the xtra $'s would be worth the xtra strength, to me!

Sorry - to me, a 12 bolt is ONLY a Chevy!
Yes, the Chevelle is the only one to work in a Cutlass 4-link, and the early 64-67 housings are 2 inches narrower - can help tire clearance!
The type 'O' or 'P' are usually refered to as a 10 bolt 12 bolt, ie: 10 bolt gears in a 12 bolt housing!

u r ok we just need to clearify better for the ones asking the ? so we don't confuse then more then they need to be.
yes if u need x-tra strenth the 12 bolt chevy would be best. the type O i would get if i was doing a stock/stock build. but the 10 bolt 8.5 is cheap/available/u can also make the strong.

The 12-bolt O-axle does have an 8.5" 10-bolt ring gear,but those internals are unique to themselves.You can NOT install the 71-up 8.5" 10-bolt guts into the 12-bolt O-axle housing.
Deedsntitles,
I can sell you a completely rebuilt 71-72 8.5" 10-bolt posi rear,any gear ratio,for $975.00 plus the freight.Everything inside is new.This is the same style rear that came in the 71-72 Cutlass/442,and the 71-72 Skylark/GS.These are good rears,and will handle plenty of power.
