Old Sub,
What year/model rear end did you use to get the 3.08 gears? Is it a 5 or six lug rear? My donor 55 GMC rearend sat too long in the WA humidity, and looks like I'll only be able to save the center section as I will have to use a cutting torch to get the drums off. Hopefully can save the backing plates and brake parts. Most likely will weld the perches on the 48 rear, and swap the third-member and have a driveline built. Tired of replacing the front u-joint at $50 a pop. ANd I like driving it too much to leave it be. It currently is my daily driver, since fixing the accelerator pump in the carb, and since the Datsun is down for a brake rebuild.... But the 48 gets better mileage than the 94 454 Sub.... Gotta get the Datsun back on the road as these gas prices are out of control....
