If you have 3.08 gears you have the D61 and D71 axles. There used to be no aftermarket gears for those axles. There are some now.

It looks like you have a good collection of trucks there. Are you using the old powertrain in another project?
Good info…thanks. Yes, I have a few trucks. The 350/350 combo will be added to the stock pile, awaiting something or someone. I always thought that the small blocks I have would be great in a nova or something. The yellow C10 in back has the 402 in it and some nice options included. I have to get this Cummins together, then another C10 that’s on the rack with the drivetrain already done. I’d like to get a muscle car but I’d better sell one or two of these guys first. Running out of room and time. Heh heh…
