I have a 1953 chevy with a 1955 235 and what i think is a 49 trans and rear end. site is great good info
found out from an older guy at the truck axle shop about the fact that early chevys had floating king pin sleeves and had that confirmed by your tech site. looked up engine id now I know why I'm pegging out my 53 oil pressure gauge at 30# because it is running a 235. Mines a driver now but there is always more to fix. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 1,927 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 1,927 | Welcome!! We like to see pictures!
