the only way to use this passenger rear end in a truck is to use the complete assembly. I ran a passenger rear end under my 46 pickup for years worked great. I also wanted to keep the 6 lugs so stuck the 54 tube/gears into a 48 passenger axle assy which were 6 lugs. Splines of the passenger torque tube to 'U' joint of the truck are the same, all other parts are different. Had to make changes to axle perches to fit the truck.
Long since have went to open drive line, much easier plus less headache than a torque tube to work on.
