Hello,
Long time reader, first time poster.

I've got a very stock 1951 3600 truck that I've enjoyed driving and working on but would like to get some higher speeds out of. I assumed the options being a 3/4 ton were:

Rear end swap - Pat from Patrick's suggested a 3/4 Ton Ford rear end that's minimal hassle to swap and fits original wheel bolt pattern.

Overdrive transmission swap. ( It's got a 4 speed Muncie on the floor in great condition and I still enjoy double clutching for the original "feel.")

But I'm curious if anyone has found a carrier or ring / pinion setup that would fit so I could truly keep everything looking stock on the outside.

Here's the post that teased me: Kip Bonds' 1941 3/4 Differential Swap
