i just finished putting a c4 vette rear in a 55 nomad and a c4 in a 37 ford . be ready for a real job this is tough to install . we took 4 off each side for the 37 and 3 off each side on the 55 . both on air bags .
it depends on how much you cut to figure out what backspacing .
i have a NONvette rear in a 33 now and it has a axle width of 52.5 and has 20x10 with a 4.5 backspacing

Thanks for the reply. we were figuring about that much.
What is the ride like with the 37 Ford.
With the air bags how is the ride with them and would you do it over again, or use coilovers???
Have Fun
