Hello!
Planning a T5/open rear swap on my '53 3100. I have a 3:73 open rear from a '56 Chevy wagon from a previous project. I took a quick backing plate to backing plate measurement, and it was within 1". The ratio seems like it would be PERFECT mated with a T5 on a 1/2 ton truck.
I don't plan on doing any hard core hauling with the truck...it's more of a cruiser.
Has anyone else done this swap? Any watch outs, or reasons I should NOT use it?
I didn't measure that axle tube diameter, but that shouldn't be a major hurdle.
Thoughts? Comments?
Thanks...
Chris
