« Thread Started on Apr 14, 2009, 10:38pm » | |
I have a 59 Apache 1/2 ton step side long bed. I'm having a new 350 SB built for it. It will be over 500HP!! It will have a 400R build up tranny. My questions are these:
1) What yr. and type of car/truck can I exchange my rear axle to for better gears and the 5 lug pattern?
2) What yr. and type car/truck can I get 5 lug disc's from to replace my 6 lug drums up front?
3) The new motor has a power steering pump on it. How can I get the stock steering converted to power cheaply?
Any suggestions can be emailed to me at 65nova2@comcast.net
Thank you very much in advance for any help you might offer!

Most people I've heard of are useing the mid 80's S-10 trucks, or ? camero's. Other are doing the bad F word vehicle FxxD. I would try and at least use Chevy/Chevy. But, that's my opinion.
