Default Re: Open driveline on Model A

Earle: Many people have(or are) converting to open drive when replacing original transmission with 3 spd synchro out of late model ford trucks (w? o/drive) and many have gone to 5 speeds out of chevys. Yes you need to stabilize the rear end, either with a 3 or 4 pt connection to frame or "splitting" the rear wishbones and mount to frame. Actually the orig A wishbones are a little week so modifications are necessary.
