Re: Rear differential suggestions

I've got a '65 GMC pickup rear housing in my '57 3200 pickup. GMC pickups used Dana 44 rears.

The width is perfect. 2 minor mods have to be made. The spring perches were off just a little bit requiring them to be cut off, moved and re-welded. Have modify the rear e-brake cable too.

I had mine rebuilt with new 3.54 gears and a trac-loc (posi) unit.

Mid to late 60's Chevy pickup rear should work width wise and parts are available for those too.
