The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Driveline rear end options for 1951 Chevy 3600

Ok I'm new to Chevy restoration Ford and MG is what I have a better grasp of.

SO I have a 51 3600 with the original running gear, not a bad thing it runs good except it has no brakes so going to have to put modern brakes on it.

I'm fairly sure it has the 4.57 rear end and it has a 4 speed.

Is there any thing out there to convert the stock rear end to a higher ratio ?

Then there is the modern rear end option what 8 wheel bolt one will fit best, 250 Ford C20 Chevy.
Or just go to a F150 or C10 and swap the front hubs to match.
The goal is a driver to replace MY S10
