Re: rearend
That's interesting. I wasn't aware that mid-90s full size rears were the same tread width.

Re: rearend
same dimensions looks like a lighter casting might have to run different backspacing with the rear disks but still experimenting and i wont know till i go buy rims

Re: rearend
I consider the 8.5 inch 10 bolt a good rear end. I hate to break it to you, but you might have the weak 7.5 inch 10 bolt. I could be wrong, am going by memory and its pretty much shot. The reason I say this is because I was thinking the 8.5 had the 5x5 bolt pattern only in 91. Confirmation anyone?

Police package Caprices got 5x5 bolt pattern. If you have 5x4.75 bolt pattern then you have the weaker 7.5 rear 10 bolt. The good rear axle is 8.5 & had a 5x5 bolt pattern for sure. My 90 is a box & it has 5x5 8.5 rear with drum brakes & 3.42 gears. I would have changed this over to Brown Eye for the gearing & 30 spline axles, but I'd lose my wheels & posi.

Re: rearend
as for the wheels if you really wanted too keep the 4.75 bolt pattern im pretty sure you would just have to replace axles with aftermarket but i was working on a budget so 5x5 is what i kept

Re: rearend
I finally got one after a month of chasing an ad on Craigslist, it came off a 93 caprice 9c1. The guy threw in the sway bar, springs and transaxle for $100, but no trailing arms.
I know its a direct bolt on, but do i need to do anything special to the brake system or axel since these cars came with abs? Can use the stock master cylinder/booster? And do I need to change the brake combo valve?
Thanks for the help

Nice score! I would use the Caprice combo valve -- not because of the ABS, but because of the change from drums to discs. The disc calipers need to retain more fluid, so the pressure valving is probably different.
As far as the ABS is concerned, if you're not going to use it, simply plug the hole in the side of the diff with a spent sensor to retain the oil. The sensor and the reluctor band it reads on the pinion shaft are the only "parts" of the ABS that actually reside on the rear itself, and play no active part in the operation of the axle or brakes without the computer and modulator up front.

Re: rearend
Everything bolts right in, just redrill the axles and fab up your own parking brake cables which can be cut and matched to the factory ones with some playing around. The center brake hose is the same, as well

I used these when I had to redo the e-brake for a new crossmember. They worked quite well, and can be hooked to the stock cable coming from the pedal:
Lokar e-brake cable
