57 olds rear diff
my 57 olds 98 convertible was installed with a 4:2 rear end in it. Why I dont know, but I'd like to convert it back to something more stock like 3:42. Does anyone know where to get the parts to do this. I think Fabcraft is out of them.

Wouldn’t the obvious thing to do is actually call Fabcraft and find out? They built me a 3.42 as of a couple months ago with their new gears
