Got a couple questions...

Who can make me or supply me a 12 bolt rear end for my 55' sedan? I have used Currie before on our 68' Camaro...I also know Moser probably can do this as well...Anyone else?

Here's what I am trying to accomplish with this...I am moving my factory leaf springs into my frame rails (I have 3" lowered leafs to replace the factory leafs).

Here's the kit I have : http://www.classicchevy.com/product.asp?pf%5Fid=21%2D131&dept%5Fid=1821

I want to be able to do a nasty back spacing on the rear rim so this kit is giving me some extra room so I can tuck a 20x12 rim (with a 3" mni tub) in the back and I need to know what length rear end I can use. I will be using Wilwood rear disks in the back....gotta order those too :D

Thanks fellas

You mean like this? We just did this exact deal on a 57 we did a all aluminum 572, TKO60, Coil over front with Speed Freak arms, Eklers rear kit, and we custom build a Moser 33 spline Tru track 12 bolt

I stuffed 315 / 35 / 17s Drag Raidals on this one, and it will hook on a dirt road! As far as rear width, If we figure out what backspace you are using, I can fingure the rear out. Kinda been there, done that.
