I have installed a 1985 ford truck t-170 3 speed OD transmission in my 1935 Ford 5 Window coupe. I had to shorten the torque tube by 2" to compensate the longer transmission. After it was all together I realized the the shortened torque tube has pulled the speedometer turtle back into the floor...

We are in the process of putting a 3:78 ring and pinion into my 1935 rear end that is 4:11 right now. We have run into a bearing problem...I bought the bearing set from Bob Drake......The differential bearings (The ones that mount at the large end of the bells and on the ring gear) and races in...

I have a matched set 3.78 ring and pinion in a banjo that I want to put in my 1935 banjo that presently has 4.11's. The bearing sizes for the pinion are different with the 4.11 being a larger diameter than the pinion bearings in the 3.78. I think this means that the 3.78's are from a 42-46...
