After working on thousands of crown vics, and learning to appreciate the simplicity of BOF.. and absolutely hating the unibody chargers, wimpalas, etc that I had to work on, I'm once again remembering why I love BOF vehicles with solid axles...

12 bolts.... and I can replace an entire rear axle.... (OK, I gotta take the 12 lug nuts to get the wheels off too, ugh)

The m1009 and the m1010 in the background.

The truck is on jackstands, so the rear is hanging on the springs...

4 u-bolts, with 2 bolts each
2 hydraulic brake lines
2 parking brake cables
2 shocks



and it's out...

I'm a firebird/camaro guy and it always irked me that to get a little more performance, I have to weld in frame connectors that only fit as sold. I think my next toy will be a C3 corvette.
