I have a 1937 truck I am building into a street rod and found a 1939 Chevy truck cab off of an old grain truck. My idea was to take the old parts off of the 37 eng.,trans, and suspension and build a rat rod bobber. Also was wondering how fast the stock truck could go it was a 3/4 ton longbed. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 1,820 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 1,820 | Yes, Sir, they can be shortened. Just cut at about halfway and weld back together.
With a stock 37 rear axle with 4.11 to 1 gears your looking at a top speed of around 55 to 60 mph at about 3,000 to 3,200 rpm's. She'll be wound tight!
