    Rebuilt and restored 8.2” 2:73 posi rearend from a 70 Skylark. This started life as a 2:73 non-posi. Everything disasssmebled,housing was hot-tanked,blasted,and powder-coated satin black. Original GM 2:73 gears are in perfect condition. I machined/modified an Eaton Tru Trac posi unit to work with the rearend. All new Timken bearings/seals. Assembled,filled with fluid and ready to run. Price is $1400.00 plus freight from Erie,PA 16505

    Max Damage I'm working on it!

    Is your wife out of town or something? I'm tripping out on the rear end photos in the beautiful clean CARPETED rooms.

    Nope. I am very careful and everything is clean. I build more of these now in my Florida room than I do in my shop.

    Hi Brian, is there any way you could detail the machining process necessary to fit the posi into the 8.2? Is this common knowledge or your secret sauce? I feel like this is the reason most people switch to 8.5s! You willing to start a new thread on it?

    It’s not the lack of posis,it’s the lack of gearsets. There are ZERO gearsets available for the 68-70 8.2” Buick rears.
