Mark,
I was looking for just such a replacement rear end. From what I've
gathered latel, a Nova or Ventura rear end are the very best replacement.
Camaro rear ends fit but the create some drag for some unkown reason and so
your tires wear weird. I plan on putting the Ventura rear end in my panel
truck. Infact, this saturday (the 8th) I'm going down to get a ton of
parts, including the rear end, from my uncle's shop. Hope this helped you.
Later
