Not counting the cost of the axle, which came from a $1.00 parts car, I
think I spent close to $1,000 putting a new axle under mine. Since I
converted to five-lug wheels in the process, and did the brakes, and a few
other extras, it wasn't all just axle, but where $700 might seem like a lot,
the alternative might be more, plus you'll have used parts that might not be
as good as you hope...

Try Patrick's Antique Cars at http://www.patricksantiquecars.com/
Many vendors sell the set, and I think it is 3.55 to 1 instead of the
original 3.90 to 1.
A complete set with bearings sell for around $700 US, therefore most people
swap in a complete rear end from another vehicle.

Does anyone know where i can get a ring and pinion that will fit the
original rear end of my 55tf? I would like a ratio that will work good with
my 350 turbo transmission. Maybe a 3.23, 3.08, 2.73 or whatever will work.
Thanks,
Tom in SC
55 2nd TF
