Mr Masseyman My first 53 3100 had a57 car rear axle,51 car 5 lug front hubs,used a tri-5 overdrive with a homemade welded in the middle driveshaft. Ran the rheels off of that one.Had my kickdown switch on the dash so you didn't have to open 2 four barrels to downshift ! I later learned that if the driveshaft is stralght it is balanced.Now you might fine tune it but in our 3100 trucks probably fine !! Have made several since that. We did balance some with a strobe light wheel balancer and hose clamps.
