Sorry about the multiple posts, Tim. I'm trying to put my many questions in the correct forum spots.

Synopsis: I have a 51 GMC without an engine. I was told to consider a '55 or later 235, which I'm told would necessitate a swap to an open driveline, '55 or later rear, and some 12v electrical upgrades.

I'm learning that maybe this is more complex than first thought....Perhaps I should just stick with whatever the original GMC setup was?

Thanks for your advice. Dickson
