Cavbull and Fla54chey31.. You guys are cool beans.. Thanks.. I current have what I believe to be the standard stock 15" steelies for wheels.. As I said, this vehicle had two owners before me.. The first owner had the truck for years and the guy I bought it from only had it a few months.. He had two so he wanted to make room for something else.. Anyway, my point being is that from what I gathered from the seller and my research on line and my mechanic, the entire truck was basically un-bastardized and pretty much original..
I also went out and looked at my pumkin.. It's a 10 bolt.. I found this link that tells me all the rear end info is stamped on the inside of the pumkin on the passenger side looking toward the engine:
http://www.348-409.com/differential.htmlI haven't got under there to look but I will.. My rear end guy said for sure I'm running the 4:11 now..
I'm gonna go to those links and check it out..
I'm still sort of confused about the later model rear ends bolting up? It sounded like you were saying i can go older but not newer? Did I understand that right?
I'll re-read it..
