Re: dana 60 or dana70 swap

the gears have no affect to the posi unit. you would be fine installing it in the my question is the gear for the truck. there are ratio caculators online. to see the correct gear for your slick.

Re: Tires

Re: 5 speed swap questions

the 240 is the same bell bolt patern that the 300, 302 and 351w use. but still need 2 trans to do the mods. nice job on your conversion.

Re: 5 speed swap questions

so the t5 is possible. but more work than the m5r2 and the t177 4 speed. im leaning to the m5r2 for 3 reasons.
first extra gear.
second hyd clutch. it can be a pita but they operate smooth as silk.
third very plentiful.= cheap $$$$$
