So there are a few posts floating around about swapping a B-Body 8.5 in, but I can't find any of the posts by searching... b-body returns nothing, 8.5 is ignored in the search, etc... :-({|=
I tried Caprice too... there are quite a few caprice posts too, but I don't know if the word Caprice is mentioned in the thread(s) I'm looking for... same with B-Body though I suppose.
That link is for one of them I believe, but there are a couple others. I know someone mentioned they got one to fit under their wagon I believe, but I just wanted to make sure.
They're wider, the arm mounts are on different angles, the bolt pattern is 5 on 5. I'm sure there's other dissimilarities. It's definitely not a plug-and-play swap.
I'm not too worried about width or bolt pattern, it would be narrowed to stock G-Body width and have aftermarket axles. I guess the main question was the upper ears, now I'm assuming I'll need spherical ends, or cut the original brackets out & weld ones in that are at the proper angle. Any idea where they are in relation to front/rear compared to a stock 7.5"?
