What modern rear end is comprable to my 72 Skylark ( I need help plz)

The problem he is going to have is IF he does have a 1971 1972 rear under the car...ANY other rear will have too short of a pinion snout and he will need to lengthen the drive shaft.
Gtivalencia34 Please post pictures so we can ID the rear that Blew up.

Thank you, Jim

 

If I understand correctly,he has a 72 Skylark,which should have the 8.5” 10-bolt,unless it was swapped-out.
I would like to see pictures of the damage,so we can identify what rear it is,and determine if it can be repaired or not.
In the last year,I have seen a few people with the 68-70 Buick 8.2” failures,due to the cross shaft coming out. Securing the shaft with a rollpin was not the best idea. The pins are starting to come out of the grenades.

 

I will take photos shortly. I will upload them here.

 

If everything exited through the cover,the rear can likely be saved. I’ve done 4 of the 8.2” Buick rears like that so far this year. If it actual blew out the casting of the pumpkin,she’s done.

 

Here's an update, I spoke to BrunoD and I will buy his rebuilt rear end. I am waiting on photos and a way to send the money since he doesn't do paypal. What do you guys recommend for payment option?

 

Postal mo

 

or can send cash Walmart to Walmart if you both have one nearby

 

For those that don’t use PayPal,I have them send a certified bank check or postal money order,and mail it certified mail,so it needs to be signed for. That way,everyone knows where it is.

 

Sounds good. Thanks guys. I am waiting on bruno to send the photos and i am working to steve to source something from the junkyard as well. I LOVE THIS FORUM!!!! you guys kickass!

 

Glad you got it solved!
