Hey guys!!
I'm planning on trying a mid 50's Chevy pickup front axle on my coupe. I have a chance to pick up a good used '61 Chevy pickup rear end on the cheap. He says it's in good shape and just needs brake cylinders. I'd like it because then I could keep all of the wheels 6 lug and it is here in my town and cheap. Is there anything bad about these rear ends? I'm not going to have crazy power, just a stock Chrysler 331ci Hemi, so that shouldn't harm it should it? I only have a day to make up my mind before he sells it to the next guy that is interested in it. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
