Would a drive line from a 1955 2nd series and up be a fairly easy swap for my 1954? Everything I have read about seems pretty involved. I have access to a 2003 Blazer S-10 4x4 that I have been thinking of swapping it's drive line into mine as from what I have read this is the rear to use. Would the 4.3 L fit in with a 350 engine mount? 1954 Chevy 3100 http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z73/lightflyer1/1954%20Chevrolet%203100/Truck027.jpg http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z73/lightflyer1/1954%20Chevrolet%203100/Truck026.jpg http://s191.photobucket.com/albums/...tion=view&current=35bluefordfrnt.jpg http://s191.photobucket.com/albums/...ction=view&current=35bluefordeng.jpg David

Why not find a truck that needs to be saved to modify/rod. Its all a matter of taste and I'd never tell someone what to do, but your truck is really nice and finished. Good luck what ever you decide to do. 1946 Chevy 1/2-Ton In the Stovebolt Gallery More pix on Flickr

A 55 2nd Series drive line should pretty much be a bolt in. "Truckin' Around .......... Since 1937!" My name is Joe and I am addicted to Classic Country Music. I just can't hep myself.
