Re: Diesel's 56 Chey Panel Van
Well, it's a great idea for all the reasons you listed but it's also a questionable choice because the donor chassis will have wider axles.
My research has revealed that the 89 axles will be 2 to 4 inches wider than the original axles therefore the wheels will protrude into the wheel openings.
You will have to research the wheel rim offset required to compensate for this. If the wheel offset is even obtainable.
I've seen some guys just go for it and live with the consequences. I don't think they can even think about lowering the truck but why would anyone do that?
As a result of this, I've considered doing a Camaro rear axle and front clip install.
Do lots of research! There's a way of getting what you want.
