Re: Eaton H052 - Drop Out Pumpkin Swap?
OK here is an update on the 3.42 drop out swap for an Eaton rearend.
It aint possible. The local truck wrecking yard owner that told me this is mistaken. I went to the shop that he used for diff work over the pas 15 yrs. This shop owner straightend me out on this. He took a look and said no I it can not be done. He called around for gear selection availability for these and came up with nothing - as expected. His only suggestion was to use a later model 3/4 ton rearend with disc brakes and 3.?? gears and call it a day. He'd do the swap for bout $1,200. Thats one option and the other is to use a complete F&R 6-lug suspension from a doner 66 C10. I have all of this sitting in the garage now. Convert the rear to 3.73 then bolt in. Decision, decisions....
