I think you are correct with the 700r4 years. Best to stay away from the 4L60e's which are all electronic. For the rear end. I have one out of a 2000 Camaro SS. It is as cheap with disc brakes and posi but it is a little wide. I am running 18" rims with 255's out back. They fit just need max off set on rims. I think like 6.75 inches. </div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br></div><div id="AppleMailSignature">Dan<br><br>Sent from my iPhone</div><div><br>On Oct 31, 2015, at 11:16 PM, Harry Spencer <<a href="mailto:spencer-h@sbcglobal.net">spencer-h@sbcglobal.net</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 14 (filtered medium)"><style><!--
