I have been told that a Ford Fairmont rear from a late 70´s car is almost the same dimensions as the buick rear but in my research i have found that it is not a strong unit. That leaves some other choices and that is obtaining a 8.5 10 bolt with the eyes on the carrier or a 12 bolt with the eyes on the carrier, or a 8.8 Ford rear with the eyes on the carrier and have the housing cut and the spring pads relocated. The backing plate on the carrier has a radical angle that is not typical of the other GM cars. i wish this rear was a bit stronger and parts were available, because it is light! | I have been told that a Ford Fairmont rear from a late 70´s car is almost the same dimensions as the buick rear but in my research i have found that it is not a strong unit.
