That's what I did with my 55 GMC, and it also has a later model Chevy 230 in it. I like it that way is so it's still the six and the SM420 granny 4 speed. Got it titled and licensed in 2011 and been driving it that way ever since. The open driveline in yours will sure make however you approach things a lot easier! I'm a fan of rally wheels too, but the offset on them lets the inner sidewall rub the tie rod ends a bit in corners. Using the stock wheels off my 1970 Jimmy on the '55 with beauty rings and S-15 hubcaps. Rallys are going on the Jimmy.Nothing special. First step is make the six cylinder in it run. It’s been changed to a later model along with an open driveline. Then play it by ear from there. Would like to do a simple small block and automatic. I love plain steel rally wheels with beauty rings and center caps.
