new guy looking for info

Dude.... you are flat out killing me today. You need to count the bolts on the differential (pumpkin) (round thing in the middle of the axles). That's what differentiates a 10 bolt from the 12 bolt.....

A 10 Bolt rear has 10 bolts - Can you guess how many a 12 Bolt rear has?

obviously but i always thought ten bolt rears were c uz theres 5 lugs on each wheel, and the 12 was 6 bolts on each wheel.
the only thing i need to learn about a car is more about the engine and trans and rear end. srry i dont have as much experience as you for i have only had my el camino for 2 or 3 years

guy said it is a 8.5" 10 bolt.

the 12" was removed in 2004 so my bad

Not a big deal 8.5 10 bolts are nearly as strong as 12 bolts anyways. It sounds like you have a good deal going for you. At least the owner isn't a total stranger & you seem to know quite a bit about it's condition.

yes only reason why i am even considering getting the car

wasnt that car on this site i remember seeing pictures

yes it was infact here is the car lol

wow you have your work cut out for you ...........you will spend your budget on the roof

GOOD LUCK...

i have a bunch of scrap steel from a '90 F150 i scrapped and i can weld. most expensive part will be paint and for know it will be flat black grill paint


and compaired to a michigan $800 car that's mint

Well you saw what I dealt with at the end of that thread. It's fixable. Worst case scenario, or possibly best case since you can weld is just cutting everything off & finding a better roof at a salvage yard.

the steel is half the battle if you can weld WTG I never learnt SADLY

yup here is my current project and is whats left of the 90 F150 mainly the frame and transfercase. the 351 needs rebuilt and we found a carned one all ready for cheap and the trans was shot so we are getting a new one



we made a floor from the hood of the F150 and compleatly are making a bed from scratch

for some the trickier spots might try my hand at fiberglassing on the chevelle. mainly where there are alot of curvs

you need so much to buy my bro in laws old truck ol mud bogger F250 2 motors ONE BUILT 351 and one regular nice truck I just have no where to store it otherwise I would buy it
