I don't know if anyone's ever done this before. I know people swap 12 bolt (C) rears into their 3rd gens all the time but can you just as easily put a 12 bolt truck rear in as well? I got one sitting in my dads garage and it has no purpose. I'll have to cut it down 3 inches and swap mounting hardware but what do i do about the tourque arm? Where would it mount up to? Forgive me if this is a stupid question but i just bought my 87 Firebird last month and i never dealt with F bodies before. Does anyone have any tips?
