54 Open Driveline and Swivel axle perches ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey guys ...

I have a 54 in the shop we are doing a 200R4 swap behind the OG sixer.

We swapped out the pumpkins, now moving on to pinion angle.

Do they make a conversion leaf spring perch ?

I was planning to plate the swivel opening, and weld solid.

Just curious on options

thanks !

I know there are companies that make conversions, but on my 54, I'm planning on use Ford Ranger leafs and perches.

Take a look at SD truck springs, they have good prices.
