Holy crap, I'd hate to see what you did before you retired! Those are some nice builds but that Willys is a work of art.

It's going on a 57 chev if that makes a difference. I've found several out of stock ones, got a few emails out there waiting to hear back.

I found a 58 chevy truck axle co.plete. springs I'd say are to long but it's got the front hubs on it so the spindles should be in good shape. If...
Just seen this, thanks I appreciate that. Believe me I have plenty of time.
I'll be on the look out for the later chevy truck axle, seen one on market place but it was to far away. I'll go with disc on the front, not...

No help on this? Could someone tell me if it'll bolt up and if the pitman arm off mine will work?
But it will bolt in and use my pitman arm? I can handle the column changes and I'd use a U joint. From what I can find out the corvette is 16 to 1...
