Re: 1979 Chevrolet C70 Ring and Pinion Upgrade

why not the whole used 3rd member swapped in ?

and watch the top speed . . . as these old trucks and there old design tires might NOT be speed rated for the speed you can now go .

bad things happen when over the speed rating . . .

friend years ago did it in a car . way over speed rating and front 2 tires shifted the belts so bad the next day he almost could not drive it to the tire store .

my 88 gmc 7000 366/5 speed / 2 speed rear has 6.57 aspr the rpo code sheet in it. and 10.00x20 tires.
