I'm talking about factory ratio in later years. Was there an axle spline change somewhere along the line? I believe the HO52 went virtually unchanged through the tears, other than brakes which are interchangeable. I guess a check in the parts book would show where any changes were. If the axle spline count did change, you still would only need to modify the later axles, but keep the housing unchanged. And there would be no differential set-up requires..
