Chevrolet 3100 pick up -49 original front + rear end?
Could someone say whether those front and rear original?
The rear end would probably not have a lock? The purpose will be to put a mustang 2 front and rear 4-link, do you think the big thing? I was going to buy the parts of the No Limit movement, or would it be something like one of the better places available? I had a bit of a hurry with it, so thank you very much for your answers!!! |

Original style front axle with disk brakes added.
The rear axle appears to be a mid 70's Camaro or Nova 10 bolt. That probably matches the V8 engine and automatic transmission that are in the truck. As the builder cut the brackets/spring pads off the original rear axle and welded them to the new rear axle make sure that the welds that hold the two pieces of the pads/brackets are welded solidly together. If I planned on driving it in a rather spirited manner I would think about changing the rear axle mount to pads and U bolts that went over the axle for a bit more strength. For a nice cruiser it is ok as is. No limit makes good front end pieces as do some of the others. Rob from there posts on the 67/72 forum fairly often and is good to answer people's questions. The company has a good reputation for responding to your questions also and that is important.

Whether in that the rear end lock?
Able to find out without seeing the car / axle? (car only just coming to me, so I do not get to see the codes axle ...) |

If it has power steering upgrade that is probably what the Tire is running on.
