1954 Ford F250 rear end and driveshaft questions
I've got a 1954 Ford F-250 I'm attempting to modernize a bit. I plan on putting a Late 60s 390 + 4 speed in it. Should bolt right in with a 330 bell housing and front timing cover/mount. The issue I'm having is that my current rear end is no good. The gears are junk and it has been partially taken apart. I have a ton of later model 3/4 tons ranging from the 60s-2000s. What would be a good rear end to use? I don't mind moving spring perches but I don't want to do any huge modifications. And also is there any particular gear ratio I should look for? Basically a play toy so I'm not too particular about what I stick in it.
Thanks for any help!
