Hello Wayne, Joe, & Oletruckers,
See, if you please:????? http://www.oldgmctrucks.com/page0276.html
It's an article showing, in nine steps, how to replace 1947-1954 GMC & Chevy
3/4 ton & 1 ton rears (which came with 4.57:1 or 5.14:1 rear gears) with rears
from 1967-1972 GM 3/4 ton with automatic tranny with coil springs (& 4.11:1
rear gears). I believe this article is the work of Rob English & is copy write
protected.
This article makes it look like an easy job. To show me doing the same project,
I'd add a photo between each of his photos showing yours truly drinking coffee,
scratching head, looking up what you guys have to say in the archives, making a
parts run, returning for a part that actually fit, building a special tool,
cursing because my thumb jumped between wrench & nut at the worst time, buying
a case of cold ones for medicinal purposes, & so on & so off...
Hope this helps. (I don't know how much applies to swaps into TF trucks.)

visors:? our crow size mosquitos long ago bashed all those accessories to
smithereens :-)

Joe,?
? I used to have a tech article on this swap (AD) but the page was link to
a past member of our mailing list, some will recall Tom and his Z-49 pickup
truck--may he rest in peace--the news of his passing wasn't quickly known
and his web site was taken down before I could get permission to copy the
article. Now his 3/4 ton was an AD style (49) and I see your wanting this
for the TF trucks, I know this is possible for the AD trucks but can't say
for sure if it'll work for the TF trucks..?
? Before spending the monies might be worth considering an entire donor
rear end swap as your friend would probably spend less than 4-500 hundred
bucks doing that... --wayne?
