A family member has a 95 Chevrolet 1500 extended cab that he wants to sell. He had trouble with the transmission and towed it in to be rebuilt by a good shop - a friend of his or something. After it was done the shop mechanic realized that the rear ended is going out on it as well. I'm not sure what he means by "going out" but the family member trusts his judgement - he's so fed up with it he wants it gone. It's in good shape and would make a really nice chore pickup. Especially since he only wants $2000 for it. If I remember right it has about 260,000 miles on it and isn't using oil.
My question is what years would be a direct reared swap? I'm not too concerned about gearing (although I think it has 4.10 in it) as I have a 2500 chore truck to pull heavy hay wagons and things if the gearing is a little high or something. It would likely never see 60 miles an hour again so low gearing doesn't bother me either. I don't really need another project, so I'm looking to find out what years I should be looking for at a junkyard to get a complete rearend for it, bleed the brakes, and go.
