Then a buddy of mines was parting out his perfect 87 GN (dont ask me why, I dont know, I did'nt wanna know)
So I jumped @ the chance to get that 8.5 posi rear with 3:42 gears!

![](http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h258/stpete_ryder/rearenddonor2.jpg)
DO WORK!
![](http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h258/stpete_ryder/rearendremoval.jpg)
![](http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h258/stpete_ryder/rearendout.jpg)
figured I aint need a truck, the monte can take that no problem, I got adjustable air shocks LOL
![](http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h258/stpete_ryder/Rearendtakehome.jpg)
got it home, sanded it down, cleaned it up and hit it wit a few coats on the high temp brake caliper, & let it sit in the sun for a few, nice glossy rock hard finish!
