Re: 52 gmc 6 lug rear axle options

Awesome info thanks guys. I’m just going to update the truck from a safety standpoint and make it a little more cruise friendly as I’m in northern Canada and it’s fun to drive to shows rather than tow toys. I’m just collecting parts right now as my 68 is a few weeks maybe two months of tinkering from being on the road again finally and my 77 should be off to paint by may then the 52 is into the garage. Plans for the 52 are Altman latches, CPP disc conversion and taper bearing upgrade (allowing for 5 bolt but I have 6 bolt transits with dog dishes from another build leftover i was hoping to use), swap in a 350/350 setup and a newer rear diff, add frame bracing, rebuild the front end, undecided on mounting rack and pinion to the straight axle or doing a CPP power conversion, adding seatbelts, under bed fuel tank, holley sniper efi, then a little bodywork and give it a splash of matte army green
