Chuck and PTE359,
You both recommend converting to disc brakes so I just looked in my Chevy Duty cataloge and see a Conversion kit for $100. Thank you for the idea. I had been wondering what to do with my 56. I have an opportunity to get a Camaro Rear with discs and positraction, but I wondered how to be able to have the same wheels all around. This looks to me like a perfect setup.
I am building (or rather going to build) this truck with the idea of occasionally hauling a trailer with a 3000-4000 lb antique tractor. I would think that this combo with a turbo 400 tranny would do the job. Oh, also am going to rebuild a 350 to power it.
Thanks,
Dave
