After looking at the tech tips last year to find the best way to give my stock 41 a cruising speed greater than its current 35MPH I found the great tip from Kip @ http://www.stovebolt.com/techtips/tranny/bonds/index.html.

After much searching this side of the pond I found a 59 3.90 and my wife purchased it for my Christmas smile

Looking at the tech tip it 'looks' a straightforward swap - and I need to get my prop changed anyway as it's a bit bent - but any advice on the swap would be appreciated.

Can't wait for the weather to warm up a bit so I can get it changed and plan to use the truck far more with the better speed wink

I wasn't familiar with the light duty 1/2 ton type rear end in a 3/4 ton but if that is what you have it should be an easy job. The tech tip explains it well. If you have any questions post them & there are plenty of knowlegeable people on this website to help.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

Fingers crossed mine is the same.

You mentioned in the tip you fitted a 61 yoke and I as I have to get a new prop built as well I wondered where you got the yoke?

Just so happens that I have one, still attached to 6” of cut off drive shaft. I bought it from a local wrecking yard. However when I took my drive shaft in to have it lengthened the shop supplied a new one.

If you do not find one and your shop can not get one you can have mine for the shipping cost

Many thanks Kip,

I'll keep that in mind if I can't get one a bit more local.
