How much 90wt?

I'm going to change the oil in my 3 speed and rear end of my '64 C10. How much oil goes in each? I don't want to get a 5 gallon bucket if I don't have to because I don't want to the extra oil just hanging around the garage plus I don't want to pay for all that oil if I won't use it all. Plus I don't have an oil pump for a 5 gal. pail either.

Re: How much 90wt?

It ended up being almost 2 qt for the transmission and it was some pretty old stuff that came out. It looked alot more like 100,000 mile 30 wt than 90 wt. I didn't change the rear end oil. I thought it had a drain plug, but it didn't and I didn't have a new rear gasket on-hand. The oil that's in it looks alot better than the transmission oil and it was only about 1/2 cup low so I toppped it off and I'll do it later.
