I swapped out my original ring and pinion for a 3:55 to 1 set. Worked well for awhile, then had a disaster. Unsure what the problem is after dozens of hours, am thinking of replacing the whole rear end. It's a '51 half-ton with a 235. Is there an easy fit for a later unit? I have a 4-speed gearbox in the truck.
Easiest swap would be to another '48 to '54 stock rear. Otherwise you are looking at an open drive rear and a little searching here will give you all the options.
Its true, I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... Steve@OldSub.com . www.OldSub.com . www.MaxwellGarage.com . www.OldGasTowRigs.com '55 1st GMC Suburban . '54 GMC 250 trailer puller project. '54 GMC 250 Hydra-Matic . '54 Chevy 3100 . '47 Chevy COE . and more...
