Hello,

Recently purchased a 1956 Chevrolet 6400 V8.
Most wheels are the Firestone RH-5. Read through the tech tip wheels thread and it mentioned posting future info on the 6 lugs but didn't see any updates.
What options are out there if I decide to run the OEM running gear?

Also found the master cylinder leaking out the rod seal. Any recommended sources for parts?

Thanks, Dan

It does not have the original engine. Looks to be a 1972 350 with hei and 4bbl from a '78. Exhaust manifolds I'd guess are original as I've never seen any like these before with front cross over but the RH manifold is shot. Has correct short waterpump, late model 12V alternator(improperly shimmed). My guess is original 4sp and 2sp rear axle.
