Anyone got an idea on how many lugs on the stocks for a 52 chev 3100? (I was wrong earlier, it’s a 52 not a 50)
Ok. Would a 3100 truck have 6 lug wheels or 5 from the factory? The guy said it’s a 3100 but has 6 lugs in front. Rear is 5 as he said it’s a Ford 9”

Still wondering, do I need to get different rear shocks since I'm changing the springs to 2" lowering ones? If so how do you know which are needed?
