Yes, I knew CSS started in 64. Call if wishful thinking that CS mentioned something cool.
Thanks for setting me straight

I hauled in a 62 fargo sweptside today. I cant seem to be able to upload a picture. I will work on it and see if I can. I get a message saying it is to large. Anyhow here is were I need help. On engine side firewall left side I find a small tag. On it is CS-D40-1208 I have heard of the CSS I am hopi...

John, what would be your first choice of axle ratio? i have been thinking of swap. i have a line on 3.23 but wonder if 3.55 might be a better all around ratio. i don't tow anything and very seldom haul anything.
thanks
Kevin
