Re: What drop does my truck have??

I've read pre-71 rear housings were 60-61"; post-71 housings were + 1.5". I always wondered why the 60-61" measurement (seems vague). So.... I verified my 68 12-bolt housing was 62" wheel mounting surface to wheel mounting surface (drums were installed). I meant to do the same to a 74 model housing I have but I pulled the axles before I remembered to measure.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
