Pumpkin swap? I've got a '48 GMC FC-253 with the original HO-72 5.14 rear-end.I've been told I can swap the 'punkin' with a '72 or older GM 3/4-ton rear-end. "Perfect fit with newer parts and higher gears." Anyone know anything about this?

Yes, it can be done. You'll want a '68-'72, preferrably from a 350 w/automatic. Try doing a search, the subject has been covered extensively as to the exact details.
