Re: Truck Rear End Needed

Aren't the Chevy truck rear ends 5 on 5 patterns? Are they too wide
for the Stude pickup?
Another idea is to get a Ford truck 9" rear end with the flange axles.
they have a 5 on 5 1/2 pattern which will have plenty of room to be
drilled for the 5 on 5 pattern. I know a guy who will narrow a 9" rear
for only a few hundred dollars. He is an expert machinist and is in
Northern CA. Let me know if this is something you would want to
consider. He did the 9" under my 54 Coupe some years ago and its been
great. I've used a couple different ratios in it. Its the ideal rear
for someone who wants that option.
