I have a '42 1/2 ton and I am trying to match a rearend to a rebuilt 235 (3/4 cam and 2 two barrels) and Saginaw 4peed. Current recommendation is a rearend from a 78-88 Cutlass, Monte Carlo or Grand prix. Appreciate any advice/recommendations relative to ride, reliability and ease of replacement. Thanks | | | | | Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 2,544 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 2,544 | If it was my truck I would get a S-10 rear end with a 3:73 gear ratio in it. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2008 Posts: 73 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2008 Posts: 73 | I thought the s-10 might not be wide enough. What years should I look for?

Are you looking for a highway cruiser? A rock puller? A wall climber?
