Does a 1929-30 Chevrolet 1-1/2 ton truck have an open drive line or is it enclosed? If this model has an enclosed drive line, will a late 40's pick-up truck 4 speed fit to the drive shaft housing? Another question, what is the wheel track of a 1937-40 1-1/2 ton with dual rear wheels? How does that measurement compare to the 1929 Chevrolet with single disk wheels? Please share your experience if you can.
Thanks,

The 37 distance between center line of spring from side to side is 42". Tread width on the 37 tire center line is 58 & 17/32 in. and the dual wheel outer is 73 & 3/8 in. If you want to do this just to install dual wheels if you use a 1930 trans. and rear end that was the first year Chevrolet offered dual wheels and all the parts will fit a 1929.

34 & 35 trucks are the greatest

Thanks, Alan | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 684 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 684 | Al, That is still a enclosed driveline. I have a '31 tow truck with duals and it is closed.
