HELP!!... hey guys, I'm new here... need some suggestions or advice... I finished restoring (well...are we ever REALLY finished?) my '49 chev PU last year. I was at the end of my reassembly budget, so she got her original tranny (rebuilt) and closed tube, and pumpkin put back in. my pumpkin has started singing to me if I let off the gas and/or downshift down a hill, or just coast. I wanna replace all from the bell back. I'm looking for more modern. is there a particular maodel year chevy (60's or 70's) that will bolt up to my 261 (not 216) as a fairly simple retro? One that will give me more modern gearing, and an open driveline? any suggestions greatly appreciated...thanks feel free to email me.

be well, do good work, and keep in touch.
