Re: Posi rear differential factory option?

When I add posi I go with Auburn Gear or Detroit Tru-Trac, meaning go into rear end work. The trucks with factory posi I have run either came in the truck or I swapped whole rear. I have a later 3.42 posi to install in my '67 hot truck project and am now considering 3.73s and Tru-Trac behind the M22

That can't be all the information. It would depend more on what transmission the truck is equipped with than the engine. 3.73:1 was the most common in manual trucks (standard) with 4.10 being option). The TH 3.08 trucks came through with 3.08s with 3.73 & 4.10 being options.

This '72 I had not nearly long enough had a 292/4spd/4.10s/fr & rr posi, all listed as options
