It was a posi. rearend w/3.08. Those poly bushings sure tighten up the control. Plus the anti-sway bar that came with it. Plus a 1.5 inch diameter bar in the front w/poly links. Good things for good reasons. Last edited by seniortrap; 04/10/21 10:07 AM. Vietnam--1967 46th. Const./Combat Engineers "Chaotic action is preferable to orderly inaction."
