Hi all,
I am goin' to the yard this weekend to look for some stuff.
I want to find a rear end for my '53 1/2 ton.
I did find a site where someone had a list of possible donors, but I can't
find that place again :(  I have some qestions.
1:  Is there a list of possible donors?  If not, I will make one and put
it up on my site.
2:  I measured 54" from back of backing plate to back of backing plate,
does this sound right?  I think 53 - 55 inches should be ok, any opinions?
3:  I have car hubs on mine (they are 5-lug, that is car right?)  What is
the bolt pattern, I guess this isn't so important, I could just get a
piece of card board and punch the bolts through...(anyone know direct
replacements).
4:  Is there a source that will help me find rear end ratios?  Maybe
somewhere that lists codes on the pumpkins?  Or will any car ratio
generally work.  I am looking to do some hw miles with this truck. I will
also put in a car AT.

Thanks in Advance. BTW,I'm gonna hit it tomorrow, so any help you can give
me now, will be great!!!!
