Howdy. My name's Chad, and I'm in Boise, ID. I've been the owner of a long time project '65 ranchero. Since then, the family has grown, and twins are on the way. It'd become apparent that I needed a project with more seats and more doors. I picked up a 1956 Fairlane Town Sedan off craigslist last night for $1500 and drove it home. 292, new rebuilt fordo, and what appears to be a 9" rear. It has a HAMB 07 tour sticker on the vent window, and that led me here. I've got a lot to learn about this car, but thats what I enjoy doing. I hope to get some pictures up here soon.
Welcome Chad. The rear axle is a little brother to a nine inch if its stock. It should last the life of the car with an auto trans, fill it with 90/140 and go.
