Re: 54 chevy boards on the floor build

Ok, I know that there hasn't been a lot of cool fab work or handmade firewalls going on here, but I am doing work and I am trying to keep the thread updated.

This came in the other day...

as soon as I get the cab mounted up, I'll get this brake assembly installed.

Picked up my 4wd s10 rearend from the local junkyard yesterday...

It's not a positrac version, and from the numbers I have no idea what it is. But it is wider than my stock s10 rear end and it is 5x4.75 with the same brakes, which is good because I think they dropped it and bent the drum brake backing plate. So, I'll have to pull apart both rear ends and take a backing plate off the original s10 rear end.

Anything look odd in this picture?

I didn't notice before that one of my trailing arms is bent. Well, after seeing this I started to re-think my suspension strategy. I'd rather not spend 4-500 on a 4-link and another 1000+ on an airbag kit, so I'm just gonna settle for a static drop for now...
