I want some taller (3.07 or 3.08) gears to replace the 3.73 gears I currently 
have in my 12 bolt, 6 lug, truck rear (circa 1965).  I am unable to find a 
complete replacement rear with the right gears, so I guess I'm going to buy a 
ring and pinion set and change out the gears.  I have rebuilt engines, but 
never 
a rear end.  How tough is this to do correctly and what kind of special tools 
are needed?  Should I take it to a specialist instead?  Help!
