I have a 1948 3/4 that I want to change the differential to a gear ratio that will give me more speed. I found one for sale. I think I have decoded the markings to mean it is a 3.36 ratio from a car.
will this differential bolt in to the rear-end of my 48?

A car carrier will not bolt into the truck differential housing.
The original ratio is probably 4.57 to 1 or 5.14 to 1 was also available in the 3/4 ton.
