Re: 57 Chevy 6400 2 wheel to 4 wheel drive
also c-60 med duty big block manifolds are center style dump .
LOVE the direction this build is going . only thing i might have done was 19.5 p-30 bread truck 8lug drw rims and tires . but the truck still looks killer with your tire/wheel combo .

I wish I had known about the C-60 manifolds. It took me a while to find one that would work. The factory steering box was a hassle. I did have a set of 19.5s that were 10 lug on the rear. I just wanted to keep the rubber height around 37" like It had on it. Believe it or not the front wheels on this truck were 22.5-8's. I put them back on with 9r's. They are about an inch taller. This is the second chevy of this vintage where I have found 22.5's. The other was a 56. Riveted together tubeless wheels. I did some research and found Chevy started offering them in 1956. I put those wheels on my 68 ford N600. Same bolt pattern. Crazy.... Last edited by elpound; 10-20-2017 at 11:22 PM. |
