Re: 66 Stepside C10 Project "Walter"

Finally getting back to work on this. Started messing with the Transmission crossmember, trying to reuse my old Turbo 350 crossmember. Having some issues with alignment, but I'm sure I'll get them sorted tonight.

Also picked up a 5-lug rearend (wheel to wheel) from a guy on CL for $100. Seemed like a pretty sweet deal, even if it does have 3.08 gears in it. It's from a 72, so it should be a straight bolt in and a heckuva cheap 5 lug swap. Also, higher gearing will help with highway mileage, but I was hoping for something a hair lower. Oh well. If I decide it needs changing down the road I'll swap some newer gears in.
