One that I used and was cheap,, the 49 to 54 chevy pick-up , used everything including the springs . to change it to 5 bolt ,, just replace the hubs with the ones from his 52 . JEFF
We used the '49-'54 Chevy truck axle and do***ented the build on a couple of our cars, check out Jim's '56 (my car) and Lonnies '55, both have do***ented buildups with this axle. In my opinion, the best way to go, no bump steer and cruise down the highway at 70 mph with no problems, just got back from a 500 mile round trip to Iowa in the car. http://www.g***ersinc.com
