Hi, I have an open rear end from a 1955 GMC that I want to replace my torque tube rear end with. I have ate 3 u-joints and two since I replaced the torque tube bushings. I really want an open drive line, tired of messing with the enclosed one. I would like any tips and or help with this swap out. I have a parts SM-420 that has the open driveline out put shaft, and I have the complete 55 GMC rear end. I will be updating the shocks too. What other parts am I missing out on??? Is there a difference in gearing between the 48 Chev stock enclosed and the 55 GMC open????
Thanks again, Garry
