I’ve seen conflicting information on a rear end swap for my 50 3100.
Some have said that a 51 - 54 rear from a power glide car has the 3:55 gears and is a direct bolt up swap.  Others have said no there are differences.
Anyone have any direct experience with this swap, or at least maybe a definitive answer?
Thanks for any info
