When we ran stock back in the 60's with a 57 stick car it was a progressive program, when we fixed one thing it moved on to something else. Ended up with dodge side gears in the posi, welded the posi unit around where it separated or it would break those "special" left hand thread bolts, Henry's axles, steel caps with long bolts that reached right thru the casting and softened gears, the local heat treater brought them back to around 50 Rw C. It was a long time ago but I don't remember being allowed to run other than the Chevy rear end in stock.
