So after thinking about It I think stock closed drive and all. I can live with driving slow. Then if I hate it I can re-think things. I am going to hang on to the rear end, t-5 and disk brake kit. I really just want to see what I think about driving a somewhat stock 52 Chevy truck first. It will be a lot easier swap drive line later than it would be to put it back stock. Several friends have alerady told me I am crazy. I have been crazy for years. We will see how this turns out over time. I see a lot of trucks at shows that are hybrids but very few that are close to stock.
