N/A FC Final Drive Gear Idea

Won't that not work because of the differences in ring gear thickness to compensate for the different pinion gear sizes?

For the 7" ring and pinion, in the short noze size, you can get all those ratios that I mentionned as factory matched sets made for each other. No, it's probably not the best for a 20B (maybe NA), but for someone wanting differnet gear ratios without the limitations of the long pinion housing, or the expense and possible reduction of strength from a welded pinion, it's a realistic option I think. I think that if one wanted several diffs in different ratios for differnet tracks for instance, it'd be the cheaper, easier way to go.
