I've got to get the driveshaft made and do a test drive on it to see how the 3.90's work. I'm still going to try and find some 3.55's, or something in that range. Be glad when this is over and I can drive. On the year model of the rear end I'm still looking, it was out of a coil spring truck. That's all I know now. Take care everyone. Just wanted to give everyone an update. Pictures are on the way as soon as I get to town. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 874 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 874 | Probably a '60-'62 if it's a 3.90 ratio and out of a coil spring truck. I assume you're talking about a 1/2 ton.
Good luck on your test drive! | | | | | Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 378 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 378 | Yes it is a 1/2 ton. The ratio is 3.90. I think it is going to work out ok. If not, all I have to do now is locate a better ratio and since the change is already done it will be pretty easy just to change out the third member. Steven | | |
