Me and my dad will be starting a 1/1 project soon and I was wondering if anybody has seen a setup like this before because when my dad started on the 3100 'bout 30 years ago he wanted a newer rear axle. So he went to the scrap yard. When he was looking under a 64 with his dad,(my grandpa) convinced him to put the whole chassis under it cuz it only needed to be shortened in the front. Since my dad liked straight 6s it stayed. Well my dad worked on the project for a while on in off while working on other cars eventually it ended up sitting until now with a lot of the work done.
My question is how unique is this setup?
