    Please put your name in your signature, we are all here on a friendly first name base :TU:

    And don't forget to introduce yourself (and your Buick) in the Wet behind the ears?? section of the board :Smarty:


    And now for your question:

    Both cars are C-bodies, both are 31 splines axles with a 4-link set-up, this will be a bolt-on conversion.

    Control arm locations appear generally right-maybe will fit-maybe not=measure everything and compare first-good luck and let us know

    @Bad Boattail:
    will the caddy pumpkin fit at my buick rear end or do have to change the complete rear end?

    I have both a 66 caddy and 65 Wildcat- I will try to look and see but my opinion is negative at this time.
    What are you looking for - more gear, POSI, or service replacement?

    i want a posi and i don't like my 3,42 gear. I can get a caddy rear end with a posi with a 2,94 gear.

    Pretty sure it is going to be swap the whole rear. Do not believe the third meember bolt pattern will be the same. Sorry. Jim
