My step-father has a 71 LeMans Sport convertible and he's pretty sure something broke inside the rearend today.? He's was driving along @ 35 mph and?he said something went "bang" and the back end?"jumped up"?and it locked up the rear tires.? It wouldn't move forward under it own power so I had to tow him home.? Now it is leaking gear oil - we haven't got it up on his lift yet to find out where it's coming from.?
I have a couple of questions: 1)?? Will a 68-72 Chevelle 10 or 12 bolt in or are there differences in the brackets?? I know there are some ????? physical differences in the center section and the shape of the diff inspection?cover.? 2)?? His BOP 10 bolt is a posi - will the posi unit fit in a Chevelle 10 bolt?? I may give him my 10 bolt and find a ???? 12 bolt for my 70 Chevelle. 3)?? If the Chevelle rearend is a direct bolt-in is there any benefit over a BOP?? Or should we just rebuild what he ????? has?? Never rebuilt one yet, but we have pretty much everything we need tool-wise, plus he's a 30-year? ????? machine repair-man. 4)?? Any other ideas/suggestions I might not have thought of...? Thanks in advance for your help. Eric
