Cruisomatic transmission (I had a C6 but blew it up and need to redoit!), Custom 9" 3.50 31 spline trac loc.
Notes:
This was an old 60's custom. It had been parked since 77 when I got it sept 11th 2001. It has been nosed and decked and shaved and slammed. I have added 4 wheel disc brakes and front and rear sway bars from Quickor.
