I have a Haynes book that lets me know what the F body rear ends are by the numbers stamped on them. I am told the 80s S trucks and Monte Carlos have the same 10 bolt guts . Is there a site that has the decoding for these other rear ends? Are the other cars I should also be checking for? I need at least a 3.42 and hopefully posi.

not sure any sites,but u can count the # of teeth on the pinion and ring gear and divide the # of teeth on the pinion into the # of ring gear teeth to get the ratio.

not sure if thats what ur lookin for,but hope it helps
