Wanna' trade rearends? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Wow, that sounds odd if you read it out loud.
Anyway...
I have a 6-lug rear end under my daily driver that has 3.73 gears. I am on the lookout for the same rear end with 3.07 gears.
Anyone want to trade rears. I do a ton of highway driving and don't need the lowend torque as much as I need cruising ability.

Rear has new wheel cylinders and brakes installed last year.

I've got a 6 lug rear from a 68 in the shop, I'll check tonight what the ratio is. I've also got a 6 lug supposedly from a 73 Blazer, that one is (by my calculations) 3.07 and is a gov lock diff.

Definately not practical to ship the whole axle, but I could pull the center chunk if interested. $50US plus shipping

Ron,
Thanks for the offer, but I am really looking for a complete rear that I can unbolt, swap, and re-connect.

ronh72c10 · 04-14-2005, 12:39 PM

No Problem.

CHEVYE · 04-14-2005, 02:29 PM

hey Eric, you can come get this 69 swb i have, it has 3.07 gears. you can take the whole dang truck for $300.

Putter · 04-14-2005, 02:59 PM

Got any pictures?
Step or fleet?

CHEVYE · 04-14-2005, 03:21 PM

it's a swb fleetside. i had a ton of pics on here but i think they were erased when josh rearranged the board. it has a good hood, pass. door, and driver fender. it also has a decent tailgate. the rest of the truck is pretty beat up.

Eric, I am probably gonna have mine out of my 70 in a week or two (swapping the five lug rear out of my parts truck) barring an unforeseen problem with the five lug rear end. If your are still looking I will holler at you when I get it out.

Putter · 04-15-2005, 08:52 AM

Krue, so you are going from 6 to 5 lug, right? Anyway, that sounds good. Let me know if you need a hand and I will drive down.

Chevy Muscle · 04-15-2005, 09:10 AM

Wow, I would really like to make this trade. I have a 3.07 rear and want 3.73.

....... only problem is mine is leaf springs

Putter · 04-15-2005, 10:08 AM

Hmmmmm. is that even possible? On the axle tubes themselves, how do they differ?

krue · 04-15-2005, 08:51 PM

The perches for the spring mounts have to be swapped is all (I think). Requires a little welding skill. Putter I will try to check the rearend I am intending on swapping into my truck this weekend and make sure I can use it. I need cash more than I need another rearend, so I will try to come up with a fair price and let you know something.
