The fellow who is interested in my Stick conversion package is also interested in a rear end with the  3.77 gear ratio.  Anybody have one to sell?

Tom,
Do you know what year ranges would be appropriate for the car he wants to fit it into?  Also, if he could come up w/ the flange to flange distance (width) that might be helpful in sorting out what might fit.  Over the years, the track width actually changed on Cadillacs and LaSalles.   The bolt circle would be one other factor to consider though  I think 5" is what Cadillacs in the 50's used. 

One last think to consider; The rear end is a pretty heavy assembly, so It would be helpful to know where he is located as shipping one of these could be a deal breaker.  When I located a replacement diff. for my 37, it was only about 50 miles away so I was able to pick it up myself.  I had seen better prices, but they were 1/2 way across the country!

He is looking to put it into a 1950 model 61 coupe.  I am thinking that perhaps the limo which I believe was the only car available with that diff in 1950 may have had a wider rear track like the commercial chassis.  I was thinking perhaps just the hogs head would swap into the rear end he has.

It ultimately will be going to Sydney Australia.

I don't need this any more.

Thank you!
