Re: 1954 C3100, Camaro Rear Axle Upgrade Help

Before you pull the old axle out measure from the spring to the --- horizontal centerline of the axle. That is the distance you want the center of the axle to sit off the spring with the new mounts. Spring pads like these Moroso units will set the axle closer to the spring than the old one was. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/mo...Fc-Cfgodh-AF1A

You don't want those anyhow as they are too wide and you need something like in the link I posted earlier. It's just one of those things to prevent a "oops I got it setting higher than I want" things that can be taken care of while you are setting it up.

My ongoing truck projects:
48 Chev 3100 that will run a 292 Six.
71 GMC 2500 that is getting a Cad 500 transplant.
77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
