Not saying it can't be done, but it will be very dificult to adapt a truck rear, without the upper ears, to a Malibu or any G body car. You may be able to make some kind of bolt on fixture to take the place of the "ears".
12" REAR END SWAP
- Thread starter malibu43
- Start date
i wouldn't attempt to put a truck 12 bolt into a malibu unless you are changing the whole suspension to ladder bars or something that doesn't require the upper control arm ears on the center section. Since the center of a truck 12 bolt is cast iron you shouldn't weld on it. You should find a ford 9" , GM car factory 4-link 12 bolt or a GM g-body 8.5 ten bolt. BTW you can make your own jig using your factory 7.5 to build from.
