Looking for a DS, and rearend - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Allright guys, I am looking to buy 68_c10_on_20's truck, but I have a brand new race built TH350 with a short shaft that I will need to use, and the one his DS is for is a long shaft. Does anyone have a DS for a SWB that ran a short tail TH350 for sale? All my stuff is from a LWB so I'm new to the SWB stuff. I am also looking for a coil rear with 3.73 gears, thanks.

I been trying to hook up with 68 C 10 on 20s for awhile now. He has that 3.08 rear which I want, and I have a great 3.73 which I do not want. We could never hook up though.

Really TX, well then you may have solved that problem for me. We'll definately hook up and swap em out if I get it. If I get his truck, it will be in the next week, and we can meet up some time in the next few. I'll let you know.

Good deal then. You know where I'm at. I need highway gears.

I have a 2 piece DS from a 69 that had a 350 short tail in it. I am going to a 1 piece. I'll sell it for $10 plus the cost of shipping. I will break it down so it fits in a smaller box. It needs new U-joints and a yoke. But other than that it's in good shape. I ran it for 5+ years until I took my truck apart for it's resto.

Good deal Jmanz69. I'll get back to you in the next week to let you know for sure on the deal.

jmanz69 · 10-05-2003, 09:43 PM

I'm just glad someone could use it. I've almost junked it twice cuz I keep tripping over it in the garage. When it warms up later this week I'll see about getting it apart.

my new 72 · 10-05-2003, 10:02 PM

Thanks jmanz69, I really appreciate it.

my new 72 · 10-06-2003, 05:45 PM

Allright guys, it's a go on the rear and the driveshaft.

jmanz69 · 10-06-2003, 08:09 PM

I got it apart, here is the pics of what I am sending you. I put marks on the two halfs so you would get them in the correct alignment when you put in new U-joints.

jmanz69 · 10-06-2003, 08:11 PM

about the carrier bearing, I wouldn't really trust it if I was you. It's a good one, and was working when I took it out, but has sat for a while and is looking a little dry-rotted.

my new 72 · 10-06-2003, 08:30 PM

Cool, I'll get a new olne while I'm at the parts house.
