My diff,  this is a 10.5 diff out of a 76 Skylark. Has 4.10 Richmand  gears.
 I cut of my brackets from my 8.2 and welded them on the 8.5.
That took car of the lower control arms location points but had problems
with the upper ones. had to make a set of offset ones, also made adjustable.
Also used energy suspention poly bushings.

A few more pics, I got the disc brake conversion from Summit.
Its great as no need to search for all those little parts. I will need
a prop valve and the proper master cylinder down the road.
Pics did not turn out so well, I guess poor lighting.







This is the stock steering box, I thhink I might change to a quicker ratio
box out of something newer.
