Hey Guys, I've been working alot lately and took a few days off last week to work on the 52'. I put disc brakes on the front and have removed the rear end and working on the trans. I found a tailshaft for the 4 speed that will make it a open driveline just don't know if I will use it or not. In the next few weeks will have a lot of extra parts if anyone is interested. This truck only has 37k miles on it. As soon as my new camera comes in I will post some pics of my trucks and car. Waiting on the rear end conversion from CP right now. I think it's on backorder been over two weeks. hopefully it will come in the next few days.
Cool Beans! So did you go 6 lug or 5 on your disk brake set? If you went 6, are you using stock wheels or sumptin' fancy? Sounds great! Can't wait to see this ride of yours!
5-lug I went to 5-lug and bought some American racing 17" torq-thrust wheels and put them on 255/55/17 tires on the back and 215/55/17 on the front. It should look good.
Now you can go to this site: http://www.richmondgear.com/101032.html and see how that 373 axle will do at different RPMs~ (Thanks Aimless!) The wheels sound great! I'm torn. I thinks I'll end up using my stock 16s, G-caps, trim rings (need to get), and W-I-D-E whites! (unless the disk setup won't allow me to use the stock wheels...) Sounds like you're making headway! Keep up the good work!
