Re: Post your 60-66 craigslist finds

I have a '70 D***e Power Wagon with a Cummins B,,, T-34 overdrive 5 speed and Spicer 70 axles with 3.73 also. It has a utility body with a cabover camper built right onto the service body,,, all in steel. I have to change the diff oil in that fairly often even though it weighs just 10,000 lbs. I pull a trailer for ATCs and desert/dune stuff.
I hear a lot of stories of rear axles overheating. Your 454 will definitely cook the rear axle. Synthetic oil and an aluminum cover would be a good idea.
