I have recently purchased a 61 Apache shortbox fleetside.I have been reading about the rear end swaps.I have a rusted all to hell 71 c-10.Yes both trucks have the original rear end.I measured the rear end in it and theres no way it will bolt in.I have some hollander books and 61-62 have a different rear end than the rest.I read about the chevy duty rear end kit.Do they have a webpage?Is there a rear end that fits or will I be better off to get a ford 9" and have it made to fit?Has anyone changed there rear end in a 61?
