Thankyou for the response! Do you know what model 57/58 would bolt in?

They went to the 9" in 57 so they pumpkin will not bolt in. The entire 57 rear axle is a close fit though but driveshaft and U-Joint mods are required.

Eric  I have a 56 rear I just pulled out  3.22 ,good drums, nice rust free one... Free for the taking.. Stevens point

The gentleman who built my 56 used a 55 3.30 rear. Since I just went to a true 3 speed automatic my next project is to replace the entire rear end. From what I've read a 65-6 Mustang V8 is very close to a bolt in with the total width within 1/4-1/2" and what I've read and the spring perch being very close. Most I've found have 2.80 or 3.00 gears. I've found them complete with e-brake cables still on. Prices vary but after the new year it's my next purchase. Good luck.

Cougar and early Bronco are narrow too. You may need to switch axles on the Bronco as its a 5x5.5".

Thankyou for the info. I will keep my eyes open.

RB      Thank you for the response. I may have interest in that. Do you have photos or dimensions? Axle flange width? Spring perch centers? Thank you

Eric  Give me a day or so and i can get that to you..  It came right out of a 56 Victoria

axle flange to flange 57"     Spring perch center to center 42.25"

I realize I wasn't specific enough.  I did mean the whole rear end housing.  The 57-58 center section will not, as noted, bolt in to a 56 housing.
