[Oletrucks] Two basic questions

[GALE GORMAN]

I preferred to keep my solid front axle. I’m not a purist since I do like a V8. We each spent our own money so I firmly support doing whatever seems right.

I've already got a Mustang IFS installed with the standard Chevy five bolt
pattern and want the rear to match. I haven't learned anyway to convert the
stock six lug rear end to five lug. I'd certainly consider keeping the stock
rear if that was possible. Harry

Why change the rear end?

Hello All. I’m thinking many of you know these answers off the top of your
heads. My 1955 First series Chevy is finally ready for an engine, tranny and
rearend.

I’ve got a 350 out of an 1985 Suburban but need a trans. I want a 700 R4.
From what I’ve read, the best years are 1987 to 1992. I’m trying to avoid
all the computerization. Any thoughts and suggestions?

What is the ideal width for a rearend? I’m looking at a 2000 Camaro 10 bolt
that is 65 and ½ wide.

I’m building this on a budget of course. Think driver, not horsepower.

Thanks.
