new guy with '54 gmc
I have this huge stack of parts and I'm about to start my newest project. Ihave a 350 with world product heads, th350 trans, and most of the parts I need to put my truck together. I also have a set of centerline wheels with new big and littles on them that came off of a '71 chevelle I had. is there a hub I can buy to have the 5 lug pattern on the straight axle? I'm going for a kinda prostreet/ratrod theme. any ideas? pictures of your trucks?

cool trucks! I've restored a few cars now for fun but this things in so many pieces I'm a little overwhelmed on where to start. I have a pretty good Idea of how things go but the hardest part for me is making a plan. on top of that I got it as a basketcase. I'll probably have to put it all back together with the things I have just to get a feel for this project. just to bond with her a little lol
Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
