Hello -
I'm now elbow deep into the open rear/T5 conversion on my '53 3100. I have the old rear end out, and the new perches on the new rear.
However, today I noticed that the locating tab on the leaf springs (for the spring perches) seems to be about 3" ahead of center in the wheel well. It seems that this would make sense, given that the old rear end used pivot mounts that were located in the front of the axle, vs. directly under the axle itself
Am I correct?
If so, it looks like I'll have to fabricate an offset for the axle, which shouldn't be too hard, but I want to know if I'm right before I start cutting metal.
Thanks...
Chris
