Did you find an 8.5" 10 bolt?  or an 8.2" 10 bolt?  It' makes a big difference.

The 8.5" 10 bolt is very comparable in strength to the 12 bolt, but the 8.2" definately is not.

Hello all, I have been looking for a 12 bolt rear axle assembly for my 71' project. I found a few in some junkyards but tey want $800.00 for a used posi- rear one. I plan on rebuilding the axle so I ave to invest more money into it. I found a 10 blot rear for $200.00 the other day. I like that price. Is there any disadvantages from going wit a 10 blot rater than a 12 ?Any elp would be appreciated. Thanks.
