So, I've been looking at the different ways to mount the T5 to the back of a 235 and I think I might try and make an spacer plate. I have access to a milling machine and am pretty handy with it, but I'm not sure about doing the large center hole in the plate. I don't think I have a cutter that large and that would be my only problem. Does it need to be round like that to fit into something or is that just to make them look nice. I can make the plate and just mill out the middle. Is there any reason why I couldn't do this?
Also, can someone direct me to a link, or if they know of which 6 lug rear axle setup would work best for converting over to open drive line. I don't want to mess with the original rear, and I don't want 5 lug ether. My T5 is a 145, or the .72 OD tranny. Just picked it up yesterday for $40.
My truck is a 49 3100 5 window currently with a 235 and had a 4 speed. Not running of course! The truck was started as a project and I'm assuming someone dropped in the 235 (1954 vintage) and never got past the transmission.
Any info would be helpful.
