Unless you have another "pumpkin" set up with different gears already...not easy. Even then it's still not easy, unless you like dealing with a heavy, dirty, smelly mess...not!
Wrong axle length, green bearing fix?

I guess. To me it comes with the territory. In for a penny in for a pound. I threw the easy button away a long time ago.

ideally I’ll have a 2.91, the 3.55 I just built, and a 4.11 or 4.56. Yes swapping the pumpkin is super easy, especially with an oil evacuator and bonded pumpkin seal.
I drive the wheels off my cars, and enjoy wrenching. When I have the right parts at least!
In my fury I had 3.73 and 4.11, not enough spread between those two. That was 20 years ago.

I was able to score a set of 29 3/16 axles out of a 70 satellite wagon from a local hot rodder. Also got a 741 with 3.23s and a spool for pennys.
Thanks to everyone for the help!

I use to be called the Van Man years ago. I would buy vans and part them out for my van and sale off what was left. Many van parts fit in our cars, back in the day. Many 3/4 ton vans came with the 8 3/4 rears and I sold them to people with "B" bodies. If I recall, their length was only 1/2 inch wider than the "B" bodies. They are still around.
