Thanks Kim, I picked it up for next to nothing as the PO didn't want to deal with the rust around the back window, It came factory with a v8 and sm420 4 speed trans. He told me the trans makes noise but when I brought it home it sounded like it was about to come apart, didn't just whine it howled on acceleration and deceleration. as luck would have it I had another one on hand so i swapped it out, same noise! I started looking at the rear end, when I dropped the drive line I found the pinion nut was finger tight so I torqued it down and added some 140 wt lube, better but still to noisy. I pulled the cover and everything looks a little loose inside plus the ring and pinion is a little low for me, I counted 20 teeth on the pinion and 39 on the ring. anyhow I have a rear from a 76 chevy truck, its only 3 inches overall wider than stock, should be better than the stock one, I will try to take some pics of the swap. I want to get this one drivable then attack that rust around the window.
