Re: 1966 C20 project

I think I have seen a thread with someone using your trailing arm mounts and they look pretty slick. I was thinking 14 bolt because I've messed with those axles a good deal including gear swaps and disc brake conversions.

That being said, I did wonder about a Dana 60 rearend as I do feel a 14 bolt is a bit overkill. Plus if the 3.54 gears are more readily available, that's a bonus. I was thinking 3.73 only because I know that's the tallest gear I'm likely to find in a 14 bolt. A 3.54 would be even better tho.

In regards to disk brakes, I've also been wondering if I'd be better off looking at stepping back to 6-lug half ton stuff. But I haven't done any research on that topic yet. I would kinda like to keep the 8 lug tho.
