All questions is regard to '50 3800 DRW
I'm getting ready to start purchasing some gasket sets. Did some searching for the rear diff and carrier gaskets, everything I find says "10 hole". Where do I find a "9 hole" gasket set or do I just use RTV? Fel Pro site was only showing a 10 hole gasket as well.
Also, reading the tech article here about doing the pumpkin swap for a 4.10 ratio, further into the article it says:
"All HO52/72 rears can use any year of brakes. So a dual rear wheel rear brake system from 72 bolts in place of a 47 DRW system. Plus, almost all 14 bolt from 73-2006 brake system will work also. Wow, so you can ditch those Huck brakes at the same time ... :)"
I've not noticed many people posting about this, mostly just at a loss that the old Huck brakes are not made anymore and can be difficult to get parts for. Does this sound true, if so I think I will run with this and just get myself some "newer" drum brakes off something else.
