Hey guys and gals...
 
Found an old Dodge truck...late 70's early 80's maybe, not exactly sure yet, will find out tonight for sure.
 
It appears to have a Dana 60 rear end...I assume that's better than my 741 case SureGrip rear end on the car now, correct?  What issues do I have to look at when swapping rear ends?
 
It's an automatic transmission truck...most likely the 727 (newer model)...are the newer 727s better than the old model that my 64 Polara 500 has in it (dual cable)?  I know all about doing a newer tranny swap with the 318 Poly, so that's not an issue (piece of cake).
 
And finally, when measuring wheels - I put the measuring tape across the center of the wheel from lip to lip - it measures about 16"+.  Is that the right way to measure a wheel?  I'm assuming it's incorrect since the tires say 15" on them - what's the secret to correctly measuring a rim?
 
The guy is giving me the truck if I want it - and I'd have to pay $65 for disposal of the unused parts.  I'm thinking I might be sitting on a couple thousand worth of parts for 65 bucks - what do you think?
 
Thanks!
Andy
