neat little pickumup!
i have a 69 version that i've owned for 7 yrs and luv it.once i rebuilt it i use it every day for work and it brings a smile to my face every time i drive it.mine has the 4.11 gears and it runs out of legs at around 55-60 mph but i've got used to it and a swap to 3.7gears and a rebuild of the knotchy limited slip is going to happen soon.
you probably know this but the 12bolt diffs have different size carriers for the gears-series 4 is for 3.73 and higher gears and you can't put a 3.08 gear on without a spacer or something like that.
the series 3 carrier is for the lower gears.found this out the hard way after buying a new set of 3.08 gears and then googling how to do the change-over.cause i'm a cheap barstard i found it easier to sell those and buy the 3.73's.
