Forgive me if this topic is discussed elsewhere and I've just missed it. Looked in the Tech Tip section also & didn't see anything there either.
I'm building out my '51 half ton as a mild street rod and will be swapping the 6 banger for a 350 V8 I've already bought and a T350 tranny. Surely after as many conversions as have been made there's agreement about which donor rear axle is the best to use!?!? Obviously you want one that is the correct width and centers in the wheel openings correctly. I've been told to look for old Camaros in the junk yards but I wouldn't know which year is the best. Or would others say that a rear end from an S-10 or other Chevy pickup be the best? I was hoping to find an article by someone who had done all the research and decided on the best choice(s). Any help would be appreciated so I can start searching the wrecking yards.
Thanks!!
