Well guys, im in the process of putting a corp 10 in the front of my 76.

And my Dana held the D-shaft on by 2 ubolts going thrue the yolk.

The new Corp-10 uses retainer straps and bolts, i have to track down 2 straps and 4 bolts. What axles will have the same straps/bolts? 10bolt rear by chance??? Just list a couple axle options if possible to look on.

I dont know about that, usually measure the span between the bolts and tell the counter person at the parts store what I want.
Usually if they ask what I am working on, I will reply with a "I do`nt think You really want to know" but, the parts people in this town knows Me gud enough that they just "OH,OK," they do understan Me. LOL

Lol, trucks on the 2 post at school, and the parts stores around here know me and my dad like that. I was working on a viper tranny awile back and needed a sensor, they asked what its out of and i said" You dont want to know".

But i would really like to just find something that fits that i possibly have laying around....

Rear 10 bolts use the straps and you can buy new ones in the help parts section. There are different hole spacings in the help parts so make sure you get the correct part number. You can look it up on their website at Dorman Products.

SO a rear 10bolt would have the same hole spacing and bolts??

I was going to drill the yoke out on my '89 to accept the u-bolts but I had to get rid of her before I got around to trying that mod. I might do it with the '90.

I snapped one of the bolts off in the yolk, and got a NEW yolk from neapco. The new one uses my old straps, so im happy.

THat's good, I'd rather have the u-bolts anyway. The flat straps stretch too easily. Because of your broken bolt, you ended up better off.
