Most rodders ... want a rear end that is 56 to 58 inches wide ... measured this way



Unfortunately ... the only Factory setups that narrow are the 57/58/59 Ford car rear ends and the 66 to mid 70's Broncos. The Broncos have the larger 5 on 5.5 wheel pattern ( think Ford pickup pattern ). They are 58 inches wide.

TCI sells their 32 chassis with a 56 inch 9 inch under them. They come from Currie and are narrowed units. NO stock 56 inch wide units ever came from Ford.

This is a 56 inch wide 9 inch under my 32 3W.



And now with the fenders on ...



This is a 58 inch wide 9 inch Bronco rear end under my 32 roadster



Both space the rim out about the same but the 32 roadster has 1 inch per side LESS offset than the ones on the 32 3W.

Some of the Lincoln Versailles ( 1979 or so ) are narrow enough ( with a proper back spacing rim ) and are 9 inch units.



Think fancied up Ford Granda

They come with factory rear disc brakes. BUT ... I would not use one because the brake parts are VERY difficult to find and VERY EXPENSIVE if you do.

Hope this HELPS
