I’ve got a 47 Chevy one ton panel. I posted some time ago about a rear differential guts swap to help ease strain on the engine and be able to highway drive the truck on occasion. I read through the articles forwarded to me from fellow bolters and started a search for the correct differential. I have found one from a 1968 Chevy 3/4 ton. Now, I’m not as savvy on gear ratios as many other gear heads, so I’m seeking advice about the parts I found to see if they will work before I commit.
The part # is GM 3817778. 11:41. Was told to divide 41 by 11 to get a value and it comes to 373. The gears are in very good shape and the price is right. I just don’t want to end up with a boat anchor instead of a smoother ride....
I appreciate any advice! Thanks, David
