30 spline in a 63 axle

[1942]

Can i still use my 63 axle housing, If i use this shafts? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MSR-A3065GMT5/
and maybe this Differential? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ETN-19556-010/

I have searched a little on this.. and i just have to be sure ( difficoult to send parts back to US, from norway )...

if it will work, are there any other parts i need ?

The 30 splines fit right in providing the lengths are the same,You will need to change the spider gears or the differential. Did my 64 with no issues at all.

Yes those parts should work just fine in your '63 housing. Some other parts you will need are all the bearings, seals, rear cover gasket, as well as a ring and pinion. Two of the bearing kits can be found by clicking on 'Suggested parts' when viewing the Eaton posi unit.

Make sure the gear set you are going to run matches the diff unit (3 series or 4 series), for example, the unit you selected is for 3:73 or higher.

I have a '63 and did this no problem. I built mine with 5 x 5 30 spline axles from Early Classic (kit included bearings and seals), Detroit Truetrac helical gear posi from Jegs, and a new gear set (3:73) from Summit.

Good luck.

Yes, i have a 3.73:1 gear set, so i will use it in my truck..

Thanks for help

i think i go for the Mooser axles, but are the bearings and seals the same from 1965 to 1980 12 bolt truck?

Thanks for helping once again!

Here is what i found on 'Suggested parts' when viewing the Eaton posi unit.

This kit inclueded a lot, but not seals and bearing... http://www.summitracing.com/parts/RAT-316K/

Do you have a link with a kit who includes Seals and bearings? or only a link for Seals and bearings?

Best regards from norway B)

It looks like the only things not in that kit are the wheel (axle) bearings and seals. Since it sounds like you are trying to get most everything you can from Summit, I would contact them (email?) about the wheel bearings and seals. Summit also sells original replacement parts, so they should be able to supply the rest of the needed parts for you. All truck 12 bolt rear differentials should use the same bearings and seals.

Forresten er jeg halvt norsk

Nei, jeg egentlig ikke snakker norsk. Jeg var bare å lage samtale. Jeg lærte litt fra min bestefar. Nå har jeg se YouTube-videoer på hvordan man snakker norsk, og Google translate. Lærer norsk har vært en livslang mål. Jeg lærer noen bare i å skrive dette. Min tippoldefar kom fra Norge i 1871

It looks like that is what you need for the rest of the bearings and seals. Not a bad price either.

These from Jegs are for one axle only. You would need to purchase 2 of these. Also, since you are purchasing new axles, they should come with new wheel studs in them. So buying more wheel studs would be not necessary
