    rear end swap

    I measured a rear end out of a 99 Silverado 4x4 it was about 69 1/2 " long the one out of 53 was about 62. But I measured the Silverado with the rotors still on it and my 53 just from axle flange to axle flange that still has to be to long right?

    rear end swap

    I am building my first rat rod and I am currently trying to find a rear end for it. Has anybody put a modern (as in a late 90s early 2000s) Chevy 1/2 ton 6 lug rear end with disc brakes and put it under a 50s Chevy?
