I may have to try this.I have a 54 with a saginaw and a 235. Whats years do I need to look for? I'm in the process of swapping out my rearend and leaf springs. It had a 55 rear with like a 4.10 gear and of course thats not a very cruiser friendly combination. I'm getting ready to put a 96 4wd s10 blazer rearend under it. It's a 3.42 limited slip. I'm gonna make new shackles and hangers and use the s10 leafs. What is the best way get the right wheelbase? How do I compensate for the moving of the rear when the trucks weight is on it?
