The 75-79 Rivs were based on the LeSabre chassis. So, any GM B-body from those years will work, such as Bonneville, Olds 88/08. Chevy Impala/Caprice, etc. You should have no problem finding one of them.
I know what you're talking about......the long bolt that goes into ths side of the carrier that prevents the cross shaft from coming out. Good luck on that one.....I've had that happen to me a couple times changing axle seals on those cars. You will never get the cross shaft to come out with the broken bolt pin in there. I always sent those away, but I'll bet you could try drilling it out if there's enough room for a small angle drill to fit. Then go in with an ez-out to remove the broken pin? Only thing I can think of.uzzled:
