1963 C-10 in NC

[1963c-10]

Picked up an Eaton 12 bolt 8.875 truck 17 spine posi unit for the 63. The big block should like the upgrade a little better. Completely rebuilt and gone through professionally. Opted to just convert the factory rearend over swapping to a 30 spline unit. I have an extra 12 bolt 17 spline rear sitting here, so I like the extra parts factor for worse case scenerios. The Dana units made for the 17 spline rears are extremely hard to find parts for if ever from the couple of builders I've talk too, where as the Eaton units can still be rebuilt with avaliable parts. I've never done a conversion, but have seen lots of threads and have all the literature, watched a few shows and have the forum for backup questions, so I'm comtimplating doing the swap myself. Part of me is chicken too though with the amount of hp/torque with the big block and says let a pro do it....so stay tuned on that one.
