Lost My 65

So you are saying that your neighbor, had a shop install a different model of 10 bolt carrier and gears into a Eaton HO32 housing? I have not heard of this before. Do you have any info as to what the application of the parts are?

According to that shop/vendor, the only thing left original were the axles and housing. (he, my neighbor, did a disk conversion later.)
I only have build experience with 9 inch and old Olds/Pontiac 3rd member style rear ends so I don't know how "easy" it will be to swap out anything. However, it couldn't be all that hard. Because of my neighbors truck, I know it is possible.

I wouldn't call a gear swap an easy job, but it does require the proper tools to do the job. Which as with any job, the proper tools makes a big difference in performing the task at hand. At a minimum you will need a dial indicator, a magnetic base, a dial caliper, and a H-frame press or some other way of pressing bearings off and on. Plus of course all the necessary bearings, shims and seals along with gear marking compound.
