1950 Styleline Deluxe rear end swap - 09/02/21 04:40 PM
Hello everyone.
I have a 1950 Styleline Deluxe with a 235. The bearings went out in the torque tube and now I need some advice/guidance. I would like to change the rear end out to an open drive shaft set up but I am unsure of what rear end will fit under the car. The current rear end has a 4:11 gear, is about 54" from backing plate to backing plate and has a 5 bolt 4 1/2" bolt pattern. Does anyone know what would be a good swap? I saw people saying a Chevy S-10 but the one I measured was only 48" between backing plates. Please help.
