The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts '72 parts on '54 ?

Sub, I have "Factory Assembly Manual" for my '54's that covers 3100-6000 series. I found "Factory Assembly Manual" for '67-'72 at Jim Carter for $35.00 just don't know if it covers C/10-C60 series. I guess I can call them and ask.

The C/40 frame is 34" wide and the 4400 is 36". I can make the rear axle work, but the front axle has much wider track. So if I can swap the '72 spindle on the '54 I can use all the wheels/tires 8.25x20 from the '72.

Oh, by the way the '72 looks like one piece 20" rims. I can't find a split ring on them. Is this possible....20" one piece rims ????

The finished truck I hope to have....'54 4400.../292 cu. in..../NV4500 or NV5600 trans..../2-speed rear from the '72..../22.5R tires & wheels. I'm thinking of putting a "brownie" under/direct/over in there too....

this getting all to crazy....but it sure is fun building all these in your head !
