i have a 72 cheyenne that despratly needs a 12 bolt truck posi. i see them for 300 dollars from eaton. im looking for one of any year for a reasonable price if anyone has one.

jose · 07-05-2004, 02:16 AM

What size gears are you wanting with the posi ? Jose

crm318 · 07-05-2004, 02:19 PM

i have a 3.07 right now but i plan to go with a 3.42 ratio. so i guess i will need the 3.07-3.42 3 series unit

jose · 07-05-2004, 07:33 PM

I do have a 12 bolt posi with the 307 gears . I do want to keep them together 200.00 plus shipping . Jose

crm318 · 07-06-2004, 09:58 PM

it might take a while to come up with. i do think its a great off and i will get back to you

Quagmire · 07-06-2004, 10:08 PM

sorry about the OT, but is that $300 you speak of from eaton, brand new? sounds cheap.

crm318 · 07-07-2004, 04:23 PM

well i see alot of them on ebay brand new for 300+

crm318 · 07-07-2004, 04:24 PM

im looking for a used posi that is out of any trucks that are compatible

Custom 68 · 07-07-2004, 05:34 PM

sent you a PM I have a one I am not sure what year truck it is from I will look at it tonight to see the markings on it. It is a 12 bolt truck series 3. I bought it a year or so and never installed it, my plans (as usual) have changed. I will take 100 dollars plus shipping. I got it from a guy on the board so I dont know much history on it.
Thanks
Dave

Custom 68, if it will fit 3.73's I'll take it if he doesn't...

crm318 · 07-08-2004, 04:34 PM

3.73 is a 4 series isnt it?

Custom 68 · 07-08-2004, 04:46 PM

yes it requires a series 4 so it will not fit the standard 3.73, it will however fit the "thick" aftermarket 3.73 gear set.
crm318 I have responded to you PM. I will mark it as sold I will get you the shipping weight and have it ready to go.
Thanks
Dave

Quagmire · 07-08-2004, 04:58 PM

i'm confused. so you are saying a stock 3.73 gear has to be used with a 4 series carrier, but you can use an aftermarket 3.73 in a 3 series?

If this link works it lists a 3.73 gear set for the series 3 carrier. This is a special gear again my understanding is that it has a thicker ring gear to space it properly. I have seen them referenced in different catalogs (Summit)
Somebody else chime in with any more info or to set me straight?
But yes the stock 3.73 will not work with this series.
