Lots of heave iron around lately, it the final drive out of the 68 Eldo a better ratio than what my GMC has stock?
Not sure I want to pull it if it's just the same ratio as the dipstick is missing from the trans

The final drive is separate from the trans. A missing trans dip stick won't affect the final drive. Also, the transmission could still be a good case core even if most of the insides got wet. Manny would know for sure.

Ok, I won't be able to get up there until the weekend, but if it's still there I'll at least pull the Gov.
Not sure if I really want to store a whole transmission or not.
Now if there are 10 bolts, thanks Rob!, then I will pull the gov and the final drive.
