    Need a good place to get my 12 bolt rear narrowed in my 63 chevy truck. I'm in College Station TX and would be willing to drive a couple hours. Really rather not hafta ship. Haven't pulled the axles so don't know if they taper or if I'll need new axles.

    from Mart, Tx.

    Check out Platt Automotive in Mexia TX. Phone is 254 729 3377. Ask for Tommy. They build a lot of race car stuff and narrow rear ends. Not that far from College Station either.
