Sorry to be lazy and not check or search this, but can someone tell me does a '79 trubo regal sprt coupe have the good 8.5 with 3:42's/posi? (in other words is it our good old rear end) Theres one in a junkyard here and i want to get a spare rear. It has a tiny sway bar too.
BTW if anyone needs info it has good panels and a fair hood with bulge-parts are cheap where its at.
Thanks
