FYI: The 3.55 rears from the cars (that had automatic trannies) will NOT fit
inside of the truck pumpkin. I don't know what ratio the trucks with
automatic trannies had, but most of them would have been open driveshafts &
I don't know if the internals on the differential are interchangeable with
the closed type (aside from AD trucks with automatic trannies being pretty
rare to begin with).
