1951 Chevy 3/4 Ton Project
Whew!!! After much parts chasing,I finally got my 51 back home and in the garage for the winter. If you all remember I converted the frontend from 3/4 ton frontend to 1/2 ton straight axle,because the 3/4 ton axle would not work with the Camaro disc brake spindles,and I changed the stock rearend,to an S10 4x4 Blazer which was not wide enough,59inches,and I made up the difference with 1.5 billet aluminum spacers,which gave me the width I needed. The reason I kept the S10 rearend, I only gave 50.00 dollars for it,and after inspecting it for condition of the gears,it was posi-tract 373 gear ratio. With the 200R overdrive transmission,it definitely ran down the road a lot smoother. Still have to get the frontend aligned, and some adjustments.Here are some pictures after I got it home. Clarity of the pictures are not that great,I took them with cell phone.Thanks
