Re: Rear end dilemma...

You might want to consider trading your 3.08 rear for a later one with 3.42s. For guys building trucks with a Th350 or a TH400, the 3.08 is the hot ticket, and they are not easy to find. I looked for a long time and had no luck, and wound up going to a 700r4/3.42 combo.

A guy around here used to grab all of the '71-'72 3.08 gear rear ends out of the local wrecking yards and would get $250 and up for them all day long. He would buy them for $125 and double his money.
