1949 Wraith Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 I hope to look at an '38 1/2 ton next week. If she looks like a good vehicle I will probably purchase her, but I like to be able to cruise at least 50 if possible. Are there any options available for the rearend gears keeping the rear hubs, etc.? According to a Hemmings article back in the day these trucks had an optional 3.7. Good luck finding one of those. Has anyone converted to a modern rear axle on this era of truck or suggest a likely candidate? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
