Brain picking time: late 55 center section in 48 housing? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Yuppers I have a question I can't figure out the answer to.

on an ot project I need to run Huck brakes and drums to be able to run 32 Chevy 18 inch wires. I'll show a photo someday with it on a trailer behind the 48.

anyhow somewhere in the back of the brain I remember talk of putting a TF center section in an early axle housing to get open drive. If I can do that it might be simpler than swapping Huck brakes to the 55 housing I have.

I know it possibly won't stop as good as with Bendix brakes but this is a 1600 lb car if that when it's finished.
