bookertee Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Could someone either tell me or direct me to a place where I could find the Rear Axle Ratios used in the various Buick models in the '48 thru '55 style differentials. What I'm looking for in particular is the availability of a ratio between 3.2 and 3.7 , preferably about 3.54 or so. Thanks, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old-tank Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 In 1955 the Roadmaster, Super and Century used 3.41 early in the year and 3.36 later in the year. The Special used a 3.58 (referred to as a 3.60). Some Specials with standard transmission used 3.90 (rare).The late year 55's changed to a ring gear bolted to the carrier in all series ( the early model year units along with prior units had the ring gear riveted to the carrier).
