10 bolt?

[importmaster1300]

What is so special about a 10 bolt rearend?

[sparky2263]

Nothing in particular. The 7-1/2, 7-5/8 is the smallest. The 8.2" is old but kinda okay and the 8.5" can be built VERY strong. The most popular at the dragstrip is the 12 bolt though.

Why?

[T Man]

it is a 7.5 or a 7.625 inch. a 12 bolt is an 8.5 inch

the 10 bolt is very stout, and it is on everything.

[sparky2263]

The 12 bolt is 8.750-8.875".

Not quite a 9" but more advantageous in many ways.

The 8.2" and 8.5"s are still 10 bolts just stronger.

Heh,
My dad's Old 80 GMC Serria had a 16 bolt rearend in it. . . .
It is a **** shame the chassis rotted out. When they came to take it away, they jacked the front end up and it broke in 2 behind the cab.
