10 bolt pinion yoke on a 12 bolt pinion gear?
Hello,
What is the advantage of using a 10 bolt yoke on a 12 bolt gear. I was told that there was a strength advantage. Is this true? I really didn't know that they were interchangeable. What is to be considered? Are there any other related parts that need to be changed? Thanks, Johnny |

The pinion seal that works is from a mid-80's Chevy full size 4wd 1/2 ton for the front differential.

On a related subject:
I have heard that there is an available pinion bearing, or bearings, that will allow you to put 12 bolt GM car gears in a 12 bolt pickup housing. Has anyone got any info on such a swap? Thanks |
