I've seen the subject of changing rear ends from time to time, but don't
know exactly what is possible, or recommended.  What I have is a '59 model
235, with a 4 speed in my '50 3600.  What I want is a gear ratio that will
give me better fuel efficiency through lower rpms, and if possible, no
cutting of the frame.  Can this be done, and what are my options?  I love
the 235, and it runs great, so I don't want to make any drastic changes,
just swap out the rear end, if this can be done.

Thanks-

Smokey
