Wow, this thread is great. I think I know the answer but will a 14 bolt pinion support mate to the Eaton? If so then would a 14 bolt ring and pinion work in a Eaton? That huge Eaton pinion bearing most likely screws up that whole idea but i thought I'd ask. I want to keep my Eatons in all my trucks but 4:10s are really just too low for highway use these days. I've got 4:56"s and 5:14's too. Also the adjuster on the side, is that for pinion side load? My 63 unit doesn't have that.
