If it were mine, I'd get a 69-70 1/2 ton rear end with a 3:08 gear in it. Pretty cheap, almost a bolt-in, and will let you cruise in the hammer lane. Get the driveshaft too, you might get lucky and it'll fit with no mods. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | The earlier years, 55/56 will also work but the 3.90 is pretty low. These and the years mentioned above will still let you use the same axles with 6 lugs. | | |
