I purchased my 54 panel back in December and I have some torque tube/driveline noise. I have just about given up on keeping the original torque tube set up and have purchased a 56 chevy 3100 panel rear end that I know little about, my question is can I leave my rear end in place minus the torque tube assy, and replace it with the 56 rear end guts to make it an open driveline?
I also have access to a 49 chevy 3100 complete running gear with motor on the frame that I can purchase for $800.00, but I didn't want to wind up with similar problems, not sure which way to go
