May have to mod your exhaust too...T case may want to occupy some of that space, but you have an advantage since the 400 frame is wider.

i am not sure the front and rear 10 bolt carriers are the same or not

but i do know a front carrier will work in the rear

i was in salt lake city my mom had to go to the hospital. a side bearing on my 88 sub rear 10 bolt let go and it chewed up the carrier.

so in the hospital parking lot i stripped down both front and rear 10 bolts and swapped the front carrier to the rear and drove home that was 3 years ago and it is still running like that.

the front(now rear) carrier in my 88 sub looked like a brand new one probably spent very litlle time locked in.

bucket ya i probably have at least 1 good 3.73 and carrier for a 10 bolt.

No problem buddy, if I can get him to come this far I'll offer to drive it down 119 somewhere so we all can meet up if he's up for a ride. Maybe someplace we can all grab a bite to eat.

That would be cool if we could all meet up some place. We'll see how it goes I guess. In the mean time, I'll dig around and see If I have anything else that might be useful.
