I hope I am clear on this.
The rearends from a 53 3100 and the 54 car are different lengths for the axles and torque tube. So, I cannot change the front gear pumpkin/gears. I cannot use the 54 car rearend and change out the axles to keep the 6 lug pattern. We are talking two different beasts.
Is this right? Is the gearing different?
TIA. I just had to ask.
