    '67 t0 '72 Chevy truck uses the same set up. Most of them were the 12 bolt though.

    thanks someone told me i could get a faster takeoff with a 10 bolt or what would you recommend
     
  4. I don't think 10 or 12 bolt is what makes it a faster takeoff. Its the gearing ratio in the rear end. Higher the #, (example 4.11's vs 3.0), the faster the takeoff.

    I'd try to find a truck diff to keep your current wheel bolt pattern.
