I'm unlucky with this 6.7 inch rear end. 83 ranger, 2wd, 2.0L, 4 speed manual. anyway I tore into it and have a bad axle bearing on passenger side.im going to have it removed and fingers crossed I can use the axle shaft. if not I have a problem. I cant find a replacement axle shaft for the 6.7 rear end. seems like a unicorn of sorts. anyway im thinking of a 7.5 swap, and wondering if it should be a direct fit, pinion angle, leaf mounts etc. ill be in junkyards for the next day or too looking for an axle shaft on some of the older cars that had 6.7 rear ends but they are hard to find.

My credo
If you don't have time to do it right will you have time to do it over?
