Guys,

I just purchased a 9" ford rear end (stock) from a 1957 Ford Fairlane 4 door hardtop. My question is, will this directly bolt into my 1956 Fairlane club sedan? This rear axle is 1 inch wider and the spring mounts appear to be about a 1/2 wider than my 56.

Also will my springs fit without moving the spring mounts on the axle?

I know I will have to change the rear yoke on the drive shaft to fit the 57 joint.

Any input will be appreciated.



Jim
