1970 Gear Change / Transmission Swap

[jumpsoffrock]

I found a two speed RPO J13 : 15000-LB. 2 SPEED AXLE 4.86/6.61 RATIO on ebay back east and put that it my truck. My truck originally had a 20,000 lbs GVW so the lighter duty carrier kinda ate into that, but it should be fine for the rest of it's life.

Honestly I don't mind if you don't wanna talk about it, but how did you find a NOS 280VO? Back 8-10 years ago I couldn't find one of those used!


And you actually rebuilt the carrier, which shows much more knowledge than I have. I just threw it in used(the place I bought it from said I was A-OK).

You are basically doing what I dreamt of. Can we see the rest of the truck?
