Have ever installed a set in a camaro rear? Ive done 1 rearend in my old s10 and i didnt have to shim it...i ended up useing the factory shims in the factory places...Is that normal or did i get lucky?

I am fairly certain that all of the rear ends out of the Z28s are disc and posi. There are different gearing options depending on whether it came out of an auto or manual car though. I also believe that there are differences between the ABS sensor between the early years and later models. All of the stock Z28 rear ends are about the same in the strength department. There are a lot of options out there for you to build a stronger axle than what you can get from the local pick-n-pull.
The rear end from a sixer is not the same as that found in a Z28.

Here is a pic of my carriers and gear. Which series you think it is? Not sure what the numbers are. 200/bl008?

Somebody else has been inside there before already, you can tell by the chewed up ring gear bolts. And the manufacturers number stampings have been ground off for whatever reason, and those numbers written on. Was someone private labeling somebody else's brand of gears perhaps?

I have been looking around online for direction to do my gear swap. i've did one, but its was a open carrier, and I put a mini spool. Ive never messed with a posi one. So does anyone know of a site or a book that gives you details how to replace the gear and pionion? Thanks
