Hi all,
I'm new to this list. I own a 58' 3100 that I bought last year. It has the
3:90 rear end and stock 4 speed. It sure is hard on my 350 when doing anything
above 40 MPH!
I removed the third member, and before I go to all the work of swapping the
whole assembly from an older Blazer I'd like to run a question by you.
Have any of you tried the set of 3:38 gears that are available for the stock
rear end? If so, are you happy with them. What kind of RPM's are you turning
at say 65 MPH? Is first gear still granny? Are they worth the investment?
Thanks in advance for any feedback!
