Hello all, I have lost the rear end in my 72 chevy half ton. I found some teath, they look like they are from a spider gear. You can also see where the pinion gear is rubbing the carrier. My question is how hard is it to change the carries and the pinion gear. I think my axels an all should be ok. Do I need to do any shimming or anything? Thanks Travis.
