Not all post '81 rears are all metric

The quality was terrible back then. The big three are still paying for it today.

but back then the cars had personality...

So true, nothing like cruising in my late grandma's 59 2dr catalina....thing was like 80 feet long and with the wing tipped quarters and body lines you would think the damn thing was going to rocket into orbit at any given moment lol!

I miss the days when you could see something from a longs ways off and still tell exactly what it was.

Can our cars be mixed? Both metric and imperial?

Certainly mixed up . . .

I do like that I got mine all SAE under the hood now, all the new hardware for my suspension mods are going in hardened SAE and I intend to put in hardened SAE when I change all the body bushings if I can?? And, when I switch disks up front and add disks in back, I can go from M12 to 1/2-20 studs for the new wheels.

Slowly but surely, re-Americanizing my Oldsmobile . . .

Nice to know, at least on my rear end cover, I don't have to change a thing.
