[72cs20]

Firstly, thanks to John, aka " Chief Rocka ", for contributing to this build thread describing the axle swap phase of my project.

I ended up deciding not to attempt this particular task myself but instead contacted American Customs & Classics( ACC ) of Hollister, Ca. to see if they would interested in taking on this axle swap. John said sure, no problem. We then set up a date to drop off the truck at the shop. The customer service was outstanding. From daily photo updates via text to they're willingness to accomodate my schedule. I look forward to working with them again.

I found ACC through the 60-66 Suburban & Panel sub-forum, once again proving how valuable this forum is when needing solutions.

This axle swap is a huge success. The drivability of the truck has been greatly improved. Spent this afternoon test driving and re-calibrating the speedometer for the new gear ratio. The 3.73 gear ratio seems to be a good compromise taking into account engine type, non-overdrive transmission and present tire size. And that previously mentioned drive-line vibration is gone.

More to come...
