Diff swap

This tickled me on the way to work this morning - 1920's(?) Chevrolet half tonner ute - doing quite nicely at about 55mph down Greenmount hill with no obvious brakes.

Popped home early today so had a spare hour or so to swap the 3.45 diff in the 2.5 over to a newly built 3.7 ratio unit which the new 2100EFI engine will prefer

Old and new on the shed floor - 3.45 is perfectly healthy so into spares stock!

New diff back in time for supper. I had left my youngest one (3 y.o) on my iPad playing Dora games and came back in stinking of gear oil to find her listening to Roxy Music and thumbing through pictures of herself as a baby.
