Fall "Chevelle" magazine...
(Preview)
If anyone sees the Fall 2012 issue of that Chevelle magazine, could you post here where I can find it? I just got notified that my wagon is in there so I would like to grab a copy or two. Its probably just a rerun of the Car Craft feature, but still pretty cool.

Are they interchangeable? I found a used 8.5" ring gear posi for $200, but I'm pretty sure I have an 8.2" ring gear in my 10 bolt, so I'm guessing they won't work together. Anyone know?
