1961 C30 4sp Transmission: swap choices?

You aren’t going to find anything smaller than 4.10 for that axle (unless you can find one of the 3.90 sets that was custom made). You don’t need a whole rear axle. The H033, H052, and H072 axles were all banjo style with a removable third member like the Ford 9”. Take out the 8 axle flange bolts that hole the axle to the hub, slide the axles out ~6”, take out the 10 bolts holding the third member in and grunt. Place your 4.10 third in the housing, bolt up the axles, and sell your 5.14 third to a rock crawler on pirate.
