Hey Fellas! I am new to the message board even though I have been reading on here for months. I have learned what I can from previous posts but have some specific questions for my build that I plan on asking all of the HAMB'ers. I am the proud owner of an advanced design pick-up (1949 Chevrolet 3100). I am currently doing a frame-off restoration/modification. As it sits now, all the body is off the frame and I am preparing to remove the 216 motor and install my new SBC and new rear end (Ford 8.8 from a 1998 Ford Explorer w/disc brakes). I plan on ordering a Sid's 4" dropped axle next month. Once both new axles are installed it will be time to start building back up. I will get some pictures up soon. Thank you all for posting such great information and keeping the message board such a valuable resource to myself as I plan out my build and/or get frustrated with something. Thanks! Shep
