This is my 1976 chevy truck, that I bought 6 months ago with a blown up engine. When I pulled the blown 350, I found a tag on the turbo 400 trans, saying it was rebuilt February of last year. It had a 14 bolt full floater rear end with air suspension. The chevy now sports a rebuilt 4 bolt 350 with new edelbrock cam, lifters, push rods, timing set,standard bottom end, new hoses, new alternator. I kept the turbo 400 trans, and I just finished installing a disc brake AAM 11.5 rear axle from a 2008 chevy duramax, with the air shocks. She has custom wheels and 305/65r16 Avon mt tires. I love this truck, it drives better than new.

Here is a pic of the other side put together, worst part of the swap was finding half a set (16) metric lug nuts. I figured I would use my axle swapping skills to build a badass tow rig. I cant believe how good the duramax axle fit, damn near like it was made for this old chevy!
