Re: 1951 Chevy Truck
348 W block? That is a big motor for these trucks. Not sure what you'll do for steering. I think we need some more details to help.

Re: 1951 Chevy Truck
For a SBC, you can run a later box from the 67-72s but you'll have to make a joint and connector to the end of the stock column. I've heard of guys using the 67-72 columns as well. Not sure how much wider a W block is.
