Stovebolters!!! I'm preparing to convert my '54 Suburban to open driveline and want some input to ensure I'm not dropping the ball, I hate doing things twice!!!
My sub is equipped with a 235 and my plan is to put a saginaw 4spd behind it (recommended by Patricks) then a new driveshaft and a chevy 10 bolt with 6 lug pattern at the rear.
I got the tranny from a friend who had it in his '51 5 window. I don't know much about it other than it's the same width as mine and it's a six lug. I'm going to have it checked out before I install it to check the gearing ratio but just want to be sure I'm going about this properly.
Any input would be appreciated. Thank you
