[oletrucks] donor vehicles for tranny and rear end

[tim <lloydt@Colorado.EDU>]

Since it looks like I'm just going to replace my entire transmission and
rear end, I'd like to start looking for donor vehicles.  Someone mentioned
using an early model Chevy S-10, since the tranny bolts right up to the
235 (right?).  What about the driveshaft?  Will I have to get it shortened
or lengthened to fit my 1954 Chevy 3100?

Thanks in advance,
