I have a '50 3/4 ton with a 4.56 rear end.  I'm installing a 350/T350 and
need to change the rear for highway cruising.  I would like to only replace
the ring & pinion, but the best I could find was 3.90.  I'm looking for more
like 3.20 or better.

Do I need to find a complete rear end from another truck?  If so, what years
and models should I start looking at?  I'd like to stay w/the original leaf
springs and 8 lug pattern as I'm using this as a puller/hauler.  I heard 3/4
ton Suburbans has rears about the right size, but don't know for sure.

Thanks,

Jeff
