WTB/ Period correct Rear end

(1/2) > >>

00dirt:
I am looking to buy a period correct Rear end for my FED build, it is based on the late fifties early sixties so I am looking for anything older than 64, that the pumpkin is small enough to fit in my cockpit. I have a early sixties olds Rear end currently, but it is too bulky to fit the way I want it to. I have talk to a few guys who recommend mid to late 50s Chevy rear ends. Any help on this would be appreciated.

Paul New:
Our old early 60’s FED had a banjo rear end in it.  If your looking for period correct not to mention very space conscious

THE FRENCHTOWN FLYER:
Early Chev rears with drop out pigs have a relatively weak housing. I twisted mine up on an old stick shift SBC altered. My advice would be don't sacrifice safety / reliability for the sake of looking period correct, unless you are building a cackle fest only car.

JrFuel Hayden:
Here is the rear end, early Ford Banjo, in my 1963 Nitro Jr Fueler
I agree, good for cackle, not good for sticky traction tracks

Here's some pictures of a Winters non-quick change rear-end in a fed. It might be to bulky for your needs but it does have that appearance of an early banjo rear-end on steroids.
