Re: 1968 Rear End Need some help
Does the rear end have an enclosed driveshaft? if so the gears will only work in that style setup, if the rearend has a standard 4 bolt driveshaft, the gears will work in all pre mid 78 spiders, just replace the "pumpkin" as a unit.
if you were thinking of removing the ring and pinion , it will not work in a post mid 78 style.

If its not a torque tube rear end, its the same as a 69 ,70 and 71 1438 set up.

Would that be easier if you could swap the whole rear end?
