I see what your saying. I'm starting to think that I would rather stay with the stock 4 spd for now and maybe upgrade the ring and pinion and see how that works out. I don't think I want to start replacing axles and welds ect...I would like to stay a little more original at least for the first few years. Then I could concentrate on the other mechanics I want to restore as well as the body. I'm getting ahead of myself anyways. I need to get that engine rebuilt and solid first then drive a little bit and get a feel for the ride.
I did find that ring and pinion set as well as the overhaul kit at truck and car shop for quite a bit less $399.00 and $155.00 for the kit...
