Projects TRI 5 Chevy GURUS

I know that they aren't as strong, but I've seen several S-10 rears used. May have been the blazer rear.
The chunks aren't that easy to find anymore. Good rears. Just not that easy to find.

 

thanks for the info
will start ordering sheetmetal soon
we have out 25th anniversary this fall
would love for her to drive me somewhere nice in the wagon

 

this one has vacuum wipers
will look into swapping to electric

 

My dad has a 605 on his 56 Nomad. With headers and power brakes, it is bear to get to anything on that side f the engine. The 500 may make for more room.

 

I used Heidt's drop spindles. You can get brackets for different rotor/caliper combos. So you get a wide selection of donor cars to choose from. CPP and others offer "kits" with everything you need. I used donated rotors, calipers, and master cylinder. Saved an few$$$. Stock rear is fine and why fix something that ain't broke? As for PS, I didn't go that route. I have stock steering and a stock wheel. Parking can be a little tough, but I have never had it any other way so I'm used to it. For repair panels, the above mentioned CARS are a good way to go. NONE will fit or look exactly like the original stampings, but pay for the better quality, you won't be sorry.

 

I just added the CPP 500 power steering box to my '56. It works great, bolts on, no problems. Also lowered the car with CPP 1.5" lowering springs in front. Used stock spindles and a 26" diameter tire. I don't think I'd want the front bumper any lower. Rear was done with 2" lowering springs from Ecklers. The ride height is just about where I wanted it to be.

On my 50's-60's Chevys , I found 35psi in front tires made up for power steering, and gave a good upper body workout.

 

wife says 'no'
told her what the PS box would cost and she said "get one"

 

I'd go with the 600 box from Borg. CPP stuff is china made crap

 

You may want to go to " tri five forum" tons of info on there and they are nice guys too.
