Hello!
In a few weeks, I'm going to start the T5/open rear conversion on my '53 3100. I have a 3.73 rear end out of a '56 Chevy wagon, an S10 tailshaft w/mechanical speedo drive, and a NWC box out of an 87 V8 Camaro.
The rear end is apart - pumpkin removed (gears intact), backing plates off, brakes apart, etc, and I want to get all new brake hardware.
Can anyone here recommend a good supplier for those parts. I know about Danchuk for tri-5 parts, but is there anyone else?
Will there by any problem using the stock torque tube springs? Yes, I know that I'm going to have to weld on perches (they're available), make/buy mounting plates and have U bolts made up - but the question is, are the springs to narrow?
Has anyone here used the original torque tube leaf springs? Any watch-outs?
Thanks...
Chris
