1936 Chevy Closed Drive Shaft To Open

Has anyone converted a Chevy closed drive shaft to "OPEN" drive shaft At the "Rear End Differential" ?

 

Nope ,don't work like a Ford style. Change the compleat rear axle ***y.

 

Have you ever looked at parts breakdown or cutaway ***y drawing of one of them? (Motors Manual). They are unbelievably complex compared to a Ford-you don't want to go there.

 

Post it if you have one. I'd like to see it. Thanks

 

Yes. What they do is they take the entire stock rearend out, and roll back under it a rearend out of an S10, Nova, Camaro, 55-57 Chevy or other car. Some of them should bolt right up if you drill a hole so it mounts properly on the locating pin. At least that's how it works for the 40-54 cars.

 

No!

 

Yes I Do And Will!

 

That's The Easy Way! I'll Do It At The Differential Pinion Shaft!
