I just purchased a 1949 axle with a 1957 pumpkin w/ 3.90 gears. Any issue with this setup for my 1946 frame? I plan to stick to the straight axle and put in a small block V8. Any advice would be appreciated with regards to this hybrid axle. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 1,714 back yard wrench turner | | back yard wrench turner Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 1,714 | Welcome to the Stovebolt.
I put a '51 front axle and a '58 rear with a 3.90 gear in my '38. I changed my motor to a '55 GMC 270.
Your choice should be fine.
I see you are in Kansas, keep the reunion in mind for the 1st weekend after Labor Day.

You will find a wealth of help here.
Just ask away and post a few more times, then you will have full access to the garage.
Wayne, is that a hint that you may be attending the Reunion this Sept?
I hope so!
