My truck is a 1950 1 1/2 ton , I'll probably look for a GM with higher gear ratio. Even if I had to just carry a front spare I could live with that. I have a 283 with 4 speed transmission that came out of a later model truck to use. Would like to swap out the rear axle , diff to drive over 45 mph once and a while, won't be doing any heavy hauling.
If anyone has done this kind of swap I would like to know what rear axle you used.
Thanks
