2-speed rear end

2-speed rear end
My buddies and I used to own a '59 Blue Bird school bus. Lots of fun.
Had a plain Chevy v8, 4 speed tranny. The best part was the 2-speed
rear end. Hmmmmm. Can anyone tell me how hard it would be to find and
then install one in my 79 FC35? Any reasons why I shouldn't? I would
just love to cruise the flats without winding out the engine past
60mph...

No two speed for the Wanderlodge diff. I bought a driveline OD unit from
Adelman's Truck Parts in Canton OH.
800 643 2001 ask for Rick. Great prices and lots of neat stuff for older rigs.

How much did that cost? How does it work? how tough to install? What
about just replacing the entire rear axle and diff?
