I want to put an open drive line rearend in my truck with the six lug bolt patern. I've been told that the 64 to 69 pickup rear end would fit, but after buying a 66, 12 bolt rear end without my tape I found it to be two inches wider (64 inches wide, where the wheels bolt up to the drum face, instead of 62 inches that is in the 53)
Has anybody had any problems with the difference of widths?
I also came up with a open drive line 55 1st series rear end, rust and all, found in the weeds in the back 40.
If I use it, can a guy find a higher gear set up out of another rear end and what would it be?
Boy was this a mouthful of questions. I hope you can weed through this.
