The reason I am asking....I have a 1949 3/4 ton I want to get higher (faster) gears in, and all I can find are 1/2 ton pickups!!!! I was wonderting if I could use the 1/2 ton rear end, and put the 3/4 ton axles in it.
I have about a 99.9999% chance of what the answer is going to be but I haven't pulled any axes that old out ever.
Thanks,
