Pacific Quick Change, formerly, Kiwi Quick Change, are manufacturers of Quick-Change rear ends for A Model 28-31 and early 32-48 Ford V8's.

We have more than 18 years of experience producing high quality T6 Alloy heat treated early Ford quick change diff centres.

Our Quick-Change diff centres are still cast and machined the old-fashioned way by hand in New Zealand by craftsman as they have since their inception in 2005. They are then assembled and distributed from Australia using only quality components - none of which are sourced from China.

The owner is long-time old school Hot Rodder Bill Krantzcke, a life member of the Drag-ens Hot Rod Club based in Sydney, N.S.W. Australia

As Bill says "I believe the future is the past"

Pacific Quick Change evolved from a forty-year passion of building and driving early Ford hot rods combined with a fabricating, fitting & engineering background. Bill's hot rod credentials include a stable of traditional style, all steel bodied Ford cars commencing in 1975 with a '34 5 window coupe, a '30 roadster on 32 rails, a '36 5 window coupe, a '34 roadster, a '35 4 door sedan, a '33 pickup and his current ride, a Black'32 Ford hi-boy Roadster #62.

There have been a couple of post '41 car builds as well along the journey including a '64 Compact Ford Fairlane Sports Coupe, a '65 Ford Ranchero and Bills current ride and daily driver, a '57 Ford Mercury M100 pickup truck.

The Mercury pickup was rebuilt with a few upgrades in mind to tow an authentic P38G Lockheed Lightning Belly tank complete with "lightning strike" nose art and powered by early Ford flathead V8 running gear. Of course it's fitted with a Pacific Quick-Change rear end.

The tank debuted at the Drag-ens Rattletrap III Beach sprints at Crowdy Head Harrington NSW in 2019 and represents a grass roots reproduction of hot rodding which sprouted on the salt flats and dry lakes in post WW2 America.
