The rear end in my 56 GMC "Frances" short stepside is going bad. I want to swap a late model rear with higher gears because I am on the highway 5 days a week. The old rear end was for the original standard 3 speed. I now have a 350 V8 with the 350 automatic.
Also I want to keep the original 6 lug wheels. I think the current original rear is 55” backing plate to backing plate or 62” wide at the wheel mounts.
SO ..anyone know what year rear end is 6 lug with close to the same width?
Frances Thanks
Cadman
