make a good donor for swapping axles onto Chevy trucks? And if not, someone should.
The reason I ask is because I have a '95 Grand Am in my driveway that I have no use for, other than to salvage the parts. Is there any chance the axles would be usefull to put on my '52 Chevy 1/2 ton?
I will do a search of the site and web for the info but if someone else knows off hand the info would be appreciated. | | |

Fits under there just right. Of course I had to cut the coil and 4-link stuff off and weld on spring pads.

If you can find a rear end out of a 55 2nd or later that a good choice. If you plan to haul a lot of weight I'd suggest a 4:10 ratio, also you can use your 6 hole wheels.
