Was you able to use the original drive shaft? If not details please

Re: SANFORD build thread
 

I did not use the original as the frame I used was bare when I started,I did use a standard one piece that was shorted and re-balanced.

Re: SANFORD build thread
 

You are doing amazing work. I like your rear brake line routing. I just read thru the whole thread, Can you post your wheel and tire specs? I like the look and might want to do a similar tire size on mine someday. Thanks!

Re: SANFORD build thread
 

Hey guys I have'nt posted in a while been busy with different things. I had the opportunity to build my first set of stainless headers for a friend of mine.He built a 55 chevy with a 454 and a tremec 5-speed, it also has a rack and pinion so buying headers that would fit was out of the question. Here are a few pics.Attachment 1121826

Re: SANFORD build thread
 

Finally had a chance to get some work done on the truck, I sent it out and had everything blasted,most of the major rust repair has been done so now I will get it in epoxy and start with the body work,I've got two new door skins that look really nice but seeing how they fit will be another story. Well I hope to make some progress in the near future. Thanks for looking.
