Cliff (or anyone out there who can help me),
You recently responded to my request for info on a higher speed rear end for
a 50 3/4 ton, and I plan to find a '72 Chevy van to get a 4.11 third member.
Now this may sound really dumb, but tell me, does this involve changing out
the entire rear portion, including axles, hubs and everything, or can this
be accomplished by simply changing some gears inside the housing? I'd
really like to keep my 8 lug wheels if I can, so they'll match the ones on
the front.
Thanks-
Smokey
