Good evening all.... Well i guess, while trying to save money, and for ease of availability, i bought a complete "rear suspension and drive" out of a late '90s Thunderbird. Now, I notice that the "pinion" is offset by about 35mm. Plus, the axles (WMS) will be app.724mm from the center of the frame, I think that will be o.k., but I will have to move the trans. tunnel that distance to the pass. side. I really don't want to move the tunnel and I'm not totally sure I can use this "rear end". I could buy custom axles, but quoted $450.00 is three times the cost of the rear end purchase!! Do you think I am wrong in trying the T-Bird? Maybe, give up the ghost, and look for a rear closer to the Sierra? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks, Don
