Default Re: '65 GMC 1500 project. From the Netherlands

Not much to report other than that the truck is running great. However, the pinion bearings start to make a little noise. Via a guy in Germany I managed to score a rebuild kit as well as a 3.54 ring and pinion set! The 3.54 ratio should definitely aid in driveability and has been a wish of mine for quite some time. Granted, they are the cheaper DANA SVL sets, preferred OEM Dana but we'll see how these hold up. Still need a new yoke since the original R&P is 10 spline instead of 29 spline. Will probably order it from Rockauto.

Gives me a proper excuse to pull the old Dana 60, fully rebuild it, and give it a nice layer of black chassis paint.
