Anybody out there got a rear axle from a 1967 to 1972 ford 3/4 ton or 1 ton truck going spare, if not any ideas where I might find one this side of the pond. Cheers.
The diff would probably do, however I'll take the complete axle for a possible straight swap over. I'm wanting to up he gearing on my 49 F2, which has stock 226ci & 4 spd crash box, but want to keep my 8 lug wheels.
Did as you mentioned Martin & the propshaft turned just short of 2 1/2 times to 1 turn of the wheel. Which surprised me, I was expecting the gearing to be in the high 4's.
That's more like it, I thought I was doing something wrong! I guess I've got the original set up which is 4.88, I'd like to get to low 4's/high 3's, I've read that you can go as low as the 3.54 & still keep the 8 lug wheels, providing the old 6-banger has the guts for it.
