After a very successful T-5 transplant,it is now apparent that the differential has some issues. The pinion bearings and races in rough condition. No damage is noticeable inside.
Should I look for a rebuild or look to see if one might be found from the Stovebolt family?

the pinion bearing/seal/crush should be available from NAPA or similar, if the gears look good it's worth repairing if you can't find a good one nearby cheap

I would get a good used center section. They are plentiful & easy to change. If your brgs are bad you have probably wore 2 different patterns in the ring & pinion & it will always sing.


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