Default Re: 8.5 rear end for 1980 G body GM

I don't know about you guys but around here 8.5 10 bolts for G body are like hens teeth. I found a mint one in a scrap pile but that was sheer luck. And the fact that it came out of a friends turbo regal to install a 9 inch ford was even better for me. Probably cheaper and way easier to just go with a Strange or Mosier 12 Bolt. Way better tooling, thicker case, thicker tubes. All around better piece. Probably wouldn't matter in a stocker but gear selection for a 12 bolt is better then a 10 Bolt as well.
