I don't know anything about 70 GM rears but I believe they are undesirable. Not sure exactly why. Never known anyone to ise them.

Roy Turner built!!! This is some old information from Dave Bryan of RaptorFab that I had saved that I figure might be good to throw in too. FORD 8.8" car housing assemblies. (Also, Ford pickup 86' and newer, good for gear sets, or leaf cars); Good gears, bad shafts. "C" clip style axle shafts. In all respects, a "copy" of the famous GM 10 bolt 8.5" assembly. Possibly a little better with the bigger carrier bearings. Will bolt in a 71' - 76' GM sedan, full size. Plenty of Ford gear sets, and after-market gear sets available. 31, 33, and 35 spline full spools available ($205 list price from Moser). Uses the SAME carrier bearings as the GM "C" 12 bolt housing. Set up is the same as the GM 10 bolt. The housing strength is the same as the GM 10 bolt housing. "Large" round factory, pinion yokes are common. Cut and weld on housings ends, for bolt in axle shafts, for a very good housing assembly. If you want to run 35 spline axle shafts, in a factory stock looking housing, this is the one to choose. Bolts in to newer Ford cars because, well, that is where they come from.
