Dynaflash8 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 A friend of mine is looking for a new or good used ring & pinion for a 1949 Buick Roadmaster with Dynaflow (I know all 49s had DF, but maybe a '48 with Dynaflow will suffice).He is desperate enough that he might consider a whole third member. Lemme know if you have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Stoneberg Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 While a lot of them will fit, be sure of the ratio as I made the mistake of dropping (numerically) when I got a replacement and I have no pickup at all. Goes good once it gets moving but I dont want to pull out in front of any cement trucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Holmberg Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 He can use ring and pinion up to 1955,just change the hole part of the inner transmission.(will fit from mid 1930s to 1955).1956 has a different splines.Leif in Sweden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest RobKirk71 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Dynaflash,If still looking I have what you are looking for. I'm in Texas.Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynaflash8 Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 I went up to OHara Restorations in Frostproof, FL with the information that Leif sent to me. They had already found a rear from somebody in Colorado...with a 3.9 ratio. They have a 30-day return warranty on it, naturally, since it is used. They are on the Internet and you can look them up and let them know you have a backup, in case the one coming from Colorado isn't good. Ask for Donna, Justin or Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
