duck457 'Bolter D Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 32 Peoria, Illinois	Now that winters over I'm getting ready to do the swap. Does anyone know if there are any 6 lug rear ends from the 80's or 90's that will a 49 chevy 1/2 ton? Looking for a gear ratio in the 3.50 neighborhood. Older truck rear ends are hard to come by where I live. Last edited by duck457; 03/22/2014 11:24 PM.
