For the 12 bolt rear, I acquired an '85 Chevy truck rear clip with the plan to swap in the diff. After taking some careful measurements I found the frame was the same width as the '55 so I cut off the rear of the frame and welded in the '85.I mounted a gas tank in the rear and ran the exhaust. It would be driving by now except we spend winters in Mesa and the project is at my home in Oregon.

Is that a engineered cooling radiator? Thanks Steve
