I have been collecting parts and working on my 1950 Chevy 3100 series. I bought a rebuilt front end off of another 1950 Chevy 3100 series truck where the owner was swapping to a mustang front end. The new Front end has 5 on 4.75 lug pattern and more modern type wheel cylinders. Can anyone tell me what this front end may have originally come off of? It had new bushings , kingpins, bearings, etc....and bolted right up to my frame. I thought all of the straight axle trucks were 6 lug.
Since I wanted the same bolt pattern on the rear as the front, I also have a rear end out of a 90's Blazer , limited slip, 60 inches wide, 5 on 4.75 bolt pattern. These have 2 3/4 inch axle tubes and I am struggling to find 2 3/4 inch diameter spring perches that are 1.75 inches wide for the stock rear springs. Does anyone have a source? Maybe something with the offset hole in the spring perch I have read about to make the rear axle look centered in the wheel well?
If not I can have them fabricated, I have watched you tube videos where they cut them out of square stock. I thought since this diameter axle tube rear end seems to be one of the popular choices someone in our forum may have a source. I cannot find one in any of the threads when I search S-10 rear end or 2 3/4 spring perch etc.... Everything I see online is for a 3 inch diameter axle tube by 1.75 inch wide spring
Thanks
Ray
