You are closer to me than I thought, Do you know the gear ratio?
Is it a trailing arm rearend or a leaf spring rear end? Thanks, Craig

Re: 5 lug rear end $125 1.5 hrs west of Nashville TN
 

It's coil springs and I have the trailing arms as well. I have no idea on the ratio and I'm gonna show my ignorance here, are there stamped code numbers on the rear end that I can pull and you decipher.

Let me know.

Thanks

mark a spot on the tire and a spot on the yoke and turn the tire 2 revolutions and see how many revolutions the yoke turns it will be just over 3 (3:07) just under 4 (3:73) or just over 4 (4:11)

Here's an artistic view of it! A thing of beauty it is.

Re: 5 lug rear end $125 1.5 hrs west of Nashville TN
 

I'll get back with you on the ratio.

Re: 5 lug rear end $125 1.5 hrs west of Nashville TN
 

Ok I did it, I spun rear tire 2 complete revolutions. The yoke turned approx 7.5 revolutions. So that's approx a 3.73?

i wish you would have brought it with you i could have used it

For future reference there should be a code number stamped on the axle housing. (see pics) Then go here to look it up. You just use the first two or three letters. The TDE on this one tells me it is a 1/2 ton 3.07:1 ratio.

Thaks Locdoc. I thought there was some code on them somwhere.

Meathead95, would you be interested in rearend if I could have it delivered for another $25. It might not be to your door, but within ~11 miles.

Re: 5 lug rear end $125 1.5 hrs west of Nashville TN
 

Nice deal if you are close.


On a vehicle that old, I'd go with the revolution method over the codes. You never know when or if that rear end was changed in the past 30 years :D

Re: 5 lug rear end $125 1.5 hrs west of Nashville TN
 

Let me check my ratio, if mine IS a 3.73:1 then I will pass, if not
then I think I do want it, let you know later on this afternoon ;)

Re: 5 lug rear end $125 1.5 hrs west of Nashville TN
 

Ok Luv2xclr8, you got first dibs.

Re: 5 lug rear end $125 1.5 hrs west of Nashville TN
 

I looked all over my axle housing, can't find any numbers at all :confused:

Gonna pass on it, thanks for doing the homework on the gears, next

Re: 5 lug rear end $125 1.5 hrs west of Nashville TN
 

yeah talk to me where and when would i meet to get it

Re: 5 lug rear end $125 1.5 hrs west of Nashville TN
 

Meathead95, I'll give you a call.

Thanks,
Greg (aka Badsam)

Re: 5 lug rear end $125 1.5 hrs west of Nashville TN
 

still available, ttt

Re: 5 lug rear end $125 1.5 hrs west of Nashville TN
 

I'm over here in Big Sandy across the river from you. What year is the rear end and the front cross member. Are they from the same truck. I don't really need them at the moment but might could use them down the road. Talk to me and we'll try to work something out.

Re: 5 lug rear end $125 1.5 hrs west of Nashville TN
 

Ron,

They are from the same truck, and still attached to that "bent" frame. It's a 1971 model shortbed frame.

Like you said I'm just across the river here in New Johnsonville. You should head over and check it out.

I'll pm you my number.

Thanks,
Greg (aka Badsam)

Re: 5 lug rear end $125 1.5 hrs west of Nashville TN
 

Got your PM and will be getting ahold of you. Thanks for the PM.

Re: 5 lug rear end $125 1.5 hrs west of Nashville TN
 

Great, I look forward to meeting you.

Re: 5 lug rear end $125 1.5 hrs west of Nashville TN
 

So is this rearend still available? (Cash Only?)

The PO thinks mine's a 3.08 Posi :metal:

3.73 would burn tires nicely :cool:

Re: 5 lug rear end $125 1.5 hrs west of Nashville TN
 

Luv,

Let's make sure Ron586 doesn't want the whole thing first, if not then it's yours.

Thanks

Re: 5 lug rear end $125 1.5 hrs west of Nashville TN
 

My bad, I thought he just wanted the front suspension, let him have
it all since I really can only trade for stuff at this moment. (No Cash)

Re: 5 lug rear end $125 1.5 hrs west of Nashville TN
 

What is a good time to call you tomorrow. Life kind of got in the way today. thanks Ron.
