Anybody know if the gm 12 bolt c passenger car rear and truck rear main bearings are the same? I know the housing is a different width already as I have a Detroit locker sitting on the shelf for a car I can't use.
Reason I ask is Strange Engineering offers forged billet main caps but they say they only fit the car housing. If it's a matter of decking the width down on my mill to get them right I'd try it.
I'm trying to beef up this 12 bolt as it's not much weaker than a Ford housing/center section and I'm not ready to rebuild the 14bolt I have that weighs like 225 lbs more.
I'll also be trussing this rear as I move forward.
