T Coupe guys help

I am looking for a rear end for my project. Those of you who have built T coupes what rear end did you use and what vehicle did you get it out of? Year and model? Any help would be appreciated.

 

For the Sunday morning crowd.

 

Banjo rear or later style? Ford Mustangs and Maverick 8" rears are narrow and have small ford lug pattern. Ford station wagon 9" rears from the late 50's to mid 60's are also narrow with small lug pattern. If a banjo, the 35-37 are the narrowest with good parts availability. Some people are running late 8.8 ford rears, they can be had realitivly cheap and come in different widths. It all depends on your budget and horsepower.

 

Depends on your bolt pattern. I'm using a 70 jeep cj5 axle 5 on 5 1/2 on my 25 t coupe

 

55-57 Chevy seems to fit pretty well

 

Gonna run a 58" wheel mounting surface width in mine, Ford nine inch.

9" first gen BRONCO, 58" backing plate to backing plate. See ya. Scott

 

Ya runnin' fenders???? An 8" outta a Mustang or Fairlane is @ 58" flange to flange....eary Bronco is as well, but has large Ford pattern.
I'm using an 8.8 out of an '89 Explorer....they are cheap, strong and have a few nice ratios, some with limited slip. They're @ 60", perfect if fenderless and channelled...

Dana 44 out of 1973 Scout. Factory 3.73 gears, 5 on 5 1/2" pattern and same width as my ford front axle.

9" out of a 72 ford pickup. Buggy spring in rear. 5 on 5.5 bolt pattern

 

Stock '46 Ford banjo with an A spring on an A frame.

 

56 olds fits perfect

 

some thing in the neighborhood of 57'' worked for me. I think it was out of a 55 Chevy

I have '55-'56 rear ends in my '32 and '36 Roadster. Chevy pattern and you can run '47-'49 International "16 steel wheels that accept a '40 Ford style hub cap ( chevy pattern).

They are pretty narrow and fit model A's and T's well, I think "57 wide.

 

I got a 97 pontiac firebird posi trac rear end in mine.

 

Thanks for the responses fellas. I am getting a good idea what my options are now.

 

I ran a '70 Ford Bronco 9" in mine.
