The rear end issue...
Brent,
Yes, I have a completely new rear leaf suspension also.
Would the S-10 rear diff. be strong enough and would the gearing match up to a TH400 OK for general highway use?
Do you, or anyone out there, know if the widths of these rear ends are similar?
Thanks again, DM

Why not just get the axles redrilled to 5 on 4 3/4" (chevy). would be lot cheaper and easier than changing the whole differential. Any competent machine shop can do it or you can send them to Currie or Moser.

Like 41 Willys sez, drill the axles. A 9" is far superior to any rear that has the Chev bolt pattern, and you already have it!

Yep. It’s pretty sad.
