What are some donor rear ends that would make for a straight swap (if they exist) Not sure what the current (stock) gear ratio would be in it, but it is geared low. Just thinking if there are any easy options, I may just keep it the way that it is. 1949 Chevrolet 3800 1-Ton In the Stovebolt Gallery More pix on Photobucket Follow the Restoration on my BLOG
