Thanks for the file, came through nice!
I appreciate all the advice.
Another question though... Other than counting the teeth on the ring gear is
there any other way to discover the gear ratio? I know on my 78 el camino
there is a stamp on the axle that can be referenced to discover the ratio.
Is there something of the sort on this truck?

Ryan:
I've accumulated alot of information recently on front & rear end swaps for
TF (55-59) trucks. I'm attaching the file to this reply (the file is 9
pages long if printed). I just sent it to Wayne (this member list moderator)
and asked if he wanted to post it in the technical section of his web site.
I hope you can open it and the information will be useful.
