I was looking for clarification of this. Is this a direct swap. nothing else needs to be changed, like the entire rear? I have never dealt with rears other than to just swap them out.
I am very interested in knowing if this is a direct swap.

Thanks for all the help. | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 | What you want to look for is the '68-'72 3/4 ton, 350 w/automatic. Most had 4.10 gears. If you get lucky (and these are very rare, I've only seen 1 myself) you might find a '72 with the 3.54 gear.
