55/58 Chevy truck build
Here you go guys
Here is what I started with.
1958 Chevy Big Window I only bought it for the cab. I bought it from a guy that kept it
in a trailer park.
So I’ll start with the frame I install a Mustang II, 4 link and c-notched the rear of the frame.
I made a frame rotisserie out of two engine stands to get the frame ready for paint.
8.5 Chevy Rearend Narrowed to 58 inches (mounting point to mounting point) with moser housing ends and axles.
4 Link install.
I had to modify the caliper bracket and the axles retainer to install my disc brakes. Here is what I came up with.
The rearend completed . I cut those micky mouse ears off the rearend to make it clear the bed floor and it also looks better.

You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
