Hey Y'all-
I just read the entire 4.10 thread that has been running and I'll admit I came out of that not knowing which end was up!
I have a '50 3800 dually that was a flatbed but only has frame right now.
Question: I realize I could find the 4.10 and pop that in there, but then I started seeing that a 14 bolt is a great alternative especially if brakes are needed. What I didn't catch anybody saying was how difficult and what is entailed in that swap? I'm the first to admit I don't know how to weld, so the 4.10 swap sang to me, but if the 14 bolt works with removing the entire rear end then bolting that on I'm game for that!
I also saw some comments about width, since I have no bed and intend on keeping it a flat bed, does it matter what 14 bolt I find as long as it's a dually or could this be the opportunity to consider switching to single?
Thanks, just want to make heads and tails of all this info!
