But I was wondering if anyone knew of someone making rear axle gears for a 1931. I would like to change my gearing from a 4.11 to around 3:50 or similar. Thanks Jeff

Larry Jackson in California made 3.50 ring and pinion gears for the 1930-32 Chevrolets for many years. However, he has not made them for several years now and, at present, no one else is making that gear ratio for those vehicles. The Mangy Old Mutt "If It's Not Junk.....It's Not Treasure!"

By the way, for a better response to your search, you may want to post either in the 1929-32 forum or in the Parts Wanted forum. Good luck with your search.
