Re: [Chevelle-list] $ 12 bolt posi rear
Herb, If I had to do it over I would have gone with the 9”. Live and learn. Considering all the wasted money and pain in the rear problems I had, $3600 would have saved me a lot of pain and strain!!(GRIN) I just new I could find a cheap one in a junk yard! WRONG!

Re: [Chevelle-list] $ 12 bolt posi rear
Michael, Learn from my dumb mistakes!(GRIN) The initial investment buying from Moser, Currie etc, may seem like a lot, but over all it’s not that bad. If you’re on a budget, save till you can get one! One thing I would recommend, is to make a plan on what you want to do, and can afford to do. I go in spurts when I get an incentive check, with planning after the fact. If I buy another car, I will do it different!
