OK guys. Here's what I found out. Since my truck is a '52, I thought the rearend was a 4:11 which was standard in '52. As it turns out, my rearend is actually a '54 with 3:90 gears. As "luck" would have it, the carrier changed in '53 so the carrier in my truck won't accept the 3:55 gears from Patricks and he doesn't have anything for it. The only way I can make the 3:55 ring and pinion work is if I can find a '40-'53 rearend carrier (which will have 4:11's)and replace the gears with the 3:55's. Everything else in the '40-'53 will fit fine with my existing axels, spider gears, etc. Though there were many thousands of them sold, I'm having trouble finding that carrier in my area (Northeast GA). Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I might look? Can anyone offer suggestions as to a possible better option? Anybody want to trade a '54 rearend for a '52
