    I used a Dodge Aspen 8 1/4 rearend under a 1950 Dodge Coronet and a 1969 Plymouth Fury III 8 3/4 rearend under a 1952 Plymouth Business Coupe. Both worked great!
     
  3. I used a jeep Cherokee rear end. You have to move the perches but it was pretty easy.

    I put a '99 Ford Explorer in my '52 Wayfarer. I got one with a 4:10 gear, but wish I had found one with 3:73 or 3:50. I have a T5 in it and the 4:10 makes it feel like 1st gear is a granny gear. It's about 1/2 inch narrower, has posi and disc brakes.
