Im look for information on an open driveshaft conversionfor my 1932 Chevrolet..... I know it can be done just hoping for some info from someone that has done one before I get into it...Thanks !
Man, I don’t want to alarm you, but someone stole your fenders. What are you trying to accomplish, keeping your original trans and rear end? Or are you planning on a Mouse, a Muncie and a 12 bolt?
Call this dude. http://www.hotrodstohell.net/ He made a torque tube elimination kit for my buick. Really, really good welding and quality. Probably no kit on his website, but I bet he can fab up something perfect.
Why not replace the whole rearend? Way easier and cheaper than a torque tube elimination. Are you trying to keep the original brakes?
I still had to replace the rear end in the buick, it just gave me an alternative to a 4 link. Not sure, but I'm assuming it's the same in early chevy, but don't know
I'm thinking that you will have to machine and fabricate the adapter and probably have to start with a 4 wheel drive tail shaft in the trans. I've got one of those Chev mechanical brake rears laying out here that is going in the next scrap load and from looking at it you have your work cut out for you.
Find a good (old) blacksmith shop. Tell him what you want done. He'll probably figure it out. I get pissed at some of the guys telling people how to build a hotrod. They have very limited building ability
