Does anybody know what rearend would fit in my 61 special? I have installed a 72 350 four barrel with a th350 trans I used the driveshaft out of my buddys 64 olds f85. Now I need posi. Can anyone help?
I put a 69 Chevelle 8.2 10 bolt in,I had to modify upper and lower control arms.Its a little wider ,but I have 8 in rims on w/6 in backspacing and they dont stick out at all. Mark Ratzmann 1961 Special wagon 455
Yes, your biggest problem is the upper control arms. the width is usually not a problem with after market rims and the 4 lug axles will have to go also. Jim Th epinion offset is slightly different too.
You need some sort of upper control arm set-up maybe a G-body might work like 78-87 GM cars. Monte malibu regal etc. Jim

I put a 4 spd behind the 455,the tunnel is alot bigger than stock,I had to switch to buckets,but the wow factor is great. Mark Ratzmann 1961 Special wagon 455
