[Strider]

Hey team,

I'm going to take this a little further.

I have a 71 5 lug rear axle that I want to put into my 68c10 ( swapping front drums to discs with a set of cpp spindles).
So I want the front and rear to have the same bolt pattern (obviously!!!!!)

The 71 rear axle is a 12 bolt and the 68 axle is too.

The 71 has 3.73 gears and is a factory posi unit.

I was going to put 3.08 gears in it but it won't accept them according to what I have been told and even summit racing shows in their catalogue that there are 3 different carriers for the chevy 12 bolt truck axle.

I was hoping to go to more friendly highway gears but I can't do this with my 71 axle and my 68 axle has like 4.11 gears.

Any suggestions??????

I didn't want to have to find another axle or buy a carrier to fit. Perhaps I'm going to have to go with a 5 speed with overdrive and dump my powerglide!!!
