I am looking at replacing the entire powertrain on my 49 1-ton flatbed, I have not decided on an engine yet but I would say something in a 283-327 or 350. I have the opportunity to purchase a 4-speed manual transmission, drive line and rear axle for about 400 bucks. It is out of a 1990 chevy 2500, cab and chassis service truck. the axle is an 8 lug, 14 bolt. 3.42 gear, open diff.
My question is has anyone here done such a swap and what kind on conversion(s) or modifications will I need to make to get this to mount up to my chassis.
(I also posted this in the driveline section)
thanks
Bryan
