Re: 55 chevy truck build and intro

I will probably stick with the stock front axle and use 2” steel blocks welded to the axle for lift. I know they say to not use blocks on the front but this is just going to be a around town goof off vehicle so it should be ok.

The straight tube axles that I see for sale are too narrow or I would consider going that route.

Those caddy engines are monsters! The great thing about them is with an aluminum intake and with headers they are not much more weight then a SBC.

But first I want to get the short bed chevy truck on the road.
