I don't understand swapping on a old rear anymore when you can pick these rearends up for less than the swap parts usually. but everyone does it their own way.
I have the old bracket setup on my offroad truck, but I don't have the ebrake functional on it.
I’m still considering swapping in another rear end, just wish I could find one that has gears taller than 4:10. Seems like all the 3/4 ton rear ends are geared low.
And, my truck is a 63, so some of the newer ones might be too wide.
