I am going to use the free 78 truck rear end. It is a 12 bolt, 3:08 ratio. I am going to wait until I drive it to see if I will have to change the gear ratio, but I suspect I will have to put in a 3:43 or 3:73.
How did you like my $100 bed ? Picked it up at the Charlotte Auto Fair a few weeks ago.
I have the frame welded back together. Now I am working on making the dropped front end work. The drop spindles and 16" wheels with over 5" of backspacing are not working well together. The lower control arms are having to be severely trimmed.
