Inliners International Forums General Discussion Drive Train Adapting a 1955 open drivetrain

Beater,

Unfortunately I would need to get wheels, it's a 5 lug 4.75 diameter, similar to camero, nova, s10, et al. This would mean front and rear wouldn't be the same unless I replaced the front axle also and moved to 5 lug 4.75" diameter.

On the AD trucks it seems they need the 4wd version as it's wider, but I think the narrow version will work with my '46, which has a 48" bed and the fenders are 11"-12" on each side.

The s10 axle is 54" I believe, from plate to plate. Don't know too much about the brakes other than it is an older rear with drum brakes. If I'm not mistaken the width of 2wd is 54", 4wd is 59", and ZR2 is 63".

EDIT: on brakes, from what I can tell the 2 sizes are:

10" x 2.24"

and

11" x 2-3/4"
