Fitment & Compatibility
Select this conversion by the GM G-Body housing-flange drawing and a measured 2.62-inch axle offset. DS1546 requires substantial housing-flange modification, including material removal and two drilled holes, preferably performed by a qualified machine shop. Check the axle-flange register, stud clearance and full 14-inch wheel drawing. Parking-brake cables, cable hardware and adapters are separate; plan the complete cable route before disassembly.
