My 77 Astre (from everything I have read and
found) has the 7.5" rear, with the torque arm. I was
planning on the 5 lug upgrade with an S10 rear. I have a
rear from an 86 Camaro, but as you know, and I found
out, it just wouldn't work that well. Icouldn't pass
it up though, it was given to me. I guess I would
just to have someone verify that changing to the S10
rear is what will be the best thing to do for my
application. I want the ease of off the shelf parts, and wide
selection of rims for the S10, but is there anything that I
can still use my factory rear (say with different
axles for 5 lug that will fit?) I am sure these things
have been gone through a hundred times (if not more),
but I just really appreciate others opinions on the
subject. I am planning on buyibg the ball-joint adapters
for the front form Robert at v8monza.com, and
building the front before i begin on the rear.
Thanks.............
