What did you pull it out of & what mods to the side was needed to mount it since they don't have the multi mount points like the older ones.

That type unit came in gmt800 trucks. Possibly among others. It's what is in our 02 yukon xl.
For what it's worth, Pontiacs of similar age could still be had with the amber numbers if you're trying to match the coloring in a gauge cluster/speedo tint.
Well the only rust left on my Regal is the driveshaft with that caked on flaky rust that I didn't even want to spend a moment to see how it would clean up.
So I found one on FB and paid $40 for it, it had only light surface rust on part of it and it cleaned up nice with wire wheel and then I painted it hammer tone black that looks more like dark gray.

We-ell, watching the laundry dry on the clothesline turned out to be a bust because it kept raining on and off all afternoon so i decided to go with Plan X and go back to work on the 10 inch. Installed the new wheel cylinders, re-assembled the brakes, and popped the drums back on. Lifted the assembly off its blocks and lowered it back into it's cradle.
Turned my attention to the pinion yoke. Took my man-portable anvil and clamped it into my vise using some scrap wood as shims. Extracted the saver sleeve from its box, removed the cute little sleeve of metal from its plastic cradle and used the cuter little driving cup, encouraged by my dead blow hammer, to assist the cute little sleeve in moving into its new location in life. Sleeve actually drove into position at room temperature. I had thought to scare it into submission by introducing it to my hydraulic press but evidently that amount of "encouragement" was unnecessary.
Set the yoke in for a test fit, went back and offered a little more encouragement to the sleeve, did a second test fit, like what I had, and threw some sticky red on the new seal surface and returned the yoke back into position.
Tomorrow is pinion re-preload day.

Today was put away the 10 bolt day. Unfinished and un-installed. Out of time for this project and missing still another part for the brake line portion of the program. Today being labor day, the labor for the day was to clean out Bay One for the incoming project. This missive will have to be continued over on the Non-G-Body and Shop forums.
