1959 Chevy suspension recommendations, rear end recommendations and transmissions?
I am the owner of a 59 Chevy SB and I would like recommendations on several things. The only criteria is to tell me why you like vice other.
I have progressive arthritis so my days of solid wrenching on vehicles for days are gone. I sold my modified 914 with a V8 and my 370z because it hurts too much to get in and out of them. I have mostly new metal for the truck, a crate LS1 engine and a new radiator. What trans would you add to this and would you change the stock rear? If so to what and what ratio? I want to improve the suspension. I want disc brakes and better handling. So would you get a complete frame, put a 76-89 pickup frame under it (ez swap), or get front and rear clips? My time frame would be about a year or so completion date and I want a daily driver not a garage or show queen. I know this is lengthy but I see a lot of talent and experience on this forum. Thanks, Michael |
