the original rearend in the 3/4 ton is an eaton and the gears are 4:57, which are too low using a granny 4-speed and looking for a little highway time so we got a 14 bolt from salvage. its out of an 85 model which had leaf springs so the old pads were cut off and changed to coil springs and the track bar mount from the eaton was welded on. the new rear is from a auto truck and is 3:90 gears. much better.
