WTB/ Period correct Rear end

Paul New:
That Winters looks bad ass but also looks terribly uncomfortable!

captndiet:
The Ford Banjo can be upgraded to 28 spline axles as used in the 9" Ford.

Also a 9" Ford mini spool can be modified to fit in the Banjo carrier.

Hot Rod Works in Idaho can fix you up.

But you are still limited to Cackle Car status.

dusterdave173:
why not a chrysler Mopar 8 3/4 inch
the centers were all good from early 60 up--back then they had crazy axles with nuts but center part same all the way up through mid 70's and you can use later style axle ends--of all the center sections the 741 casting is to be avoided as it has smallest pinion diameter--the "489" is said to be strongest but I disagree it has tapered pinion that used crush sleeve --that is no good--you can buy a solid spacer and shim but why because the "742" case is out there--strong pinion--easy sleeve to spec--and gears are available easy--and for a housing you can use a later model it will look the same as a 1963 but have correct ends you can recycle--

rooman:
I am with Dave on the Mopar housing but the best bet is to use Olds housing ends as they did back in the day. There are lots of used brake packages around that will fit the Olds ends and axles can be made to suit any combination of third member and ends.
