Rear Axle Swap? - roadworthy - 04-27-19
Anyone attempted this on the early models? I'm tired of the sub-par rear brakes and lack of parking brake, and having a better highway gearing would be cool. It's no race car, so slow starts aren't really an issue

I put a Dodge Dakota one in a `56 a while back. Move spring perches and that's about it.
P.S. welcome back we missed you.

1990 was last year for 5-lug, I would get your overall width then compare next to make sure ok for you.
