I replaced the rear end on my 79 this week(I've had it in the garage for about 3 weeks). And of courese I didn't do it because I "wanted" to. I was thinking of doing it next weekend but monday at lunch the gmc made up it's own mind and said it had enough. I was sitting at a stop light and when it turned green it went clunk and I said "should of replaced it when I got it". The good thing is I replaced the stock springs for Malibu wagon springs and new non air shocks. The ride is so much better and I think it looks a little better too. If I only had a better front sway bar and any sway bar in the back. :D :evil: 8)

did you get the springs new or out of a boneyard and what was the cost.

I have two sets of used malibu wagon rear springs $15 if your interested plus shipping

I installed used springs I got from a parts car I paid $50.00 for. I did call a few parts stores and wagon springs new are only around $80.00 in my area. But the used springs worked fine for me(so far).

thanks Nowukno, but I'll keep checking for some locally. If you still have them in a while you might get a PM.

cheers!

How much did it bring the back end up? I've got wagon springs sitting in the garage, but I'm waiting on a complete rearend before I install them! Got any pics?
