Got a '53 3100 5 window in Casper,Wyo. last summer. Started with the front end and put in SS Brakes Royal King Pins, new tie rod and ends, drag link,
spring shackles and bushings, Addco sway bar and a disc brake conversion.
Just put in a rear from a '76 Camaro for mock up. Truck came with a '72 250
mated to the original trans but I scored a '72 SM465 at a swap meet. It sits on 15X6 steel wheels in front with 235-75 radials and 15X7 wheels and 255-70's
out back. I'm looking for a 292 as the rear has 2.73 gears. Your thoughts?
