Customs Need help on a 54 bel air rear end

Just bought a 54 chopped, bagged Bel air project. The rear is a little too wide and hits the inside quarters, Can anyone tell me the best rear for the job or is a custom built rear the answer. I would like to run skirts but want to set it in the gr***.

 

S-10 4x4 or second gen Camaro/Firebird. Both perfect fits.

 

Thanks,I have a disc brake caddy rear of some kind in it when I bought it (yesterday) but can't let it down, tires rub and can,t push it at all.

 

Does it matter what year second gen camaro rear or 4x4 S-10, Appreciate the help!

 

I used a 1996 S10 Blazer rear end in mine works well.

Thanks,I was just wondering if s-10's were all the same width. Mike

 

What about changing the wheels to some with more back spacing.

 

I was thinking about front wheel drive car wheels,they are really set in deep

 

'55 to '57 rear work well. Stock rear is 60" wide, so is the '55 to '57.

 

late 70's to mid 80's Monte Carlos, Cutl***, Grand Prix all work 58"drum to drum.
and they are everywhere.

 

and yes all 4x4 S-10 and S-15 will work also

 

The s10 rear ends have to be 4 wheel drive units.

55-57 Chevy rear works too.. If it's going to be low and slow.. I have 57 in my 54

Wheels, and maybe a quarter relief would do wonders. I can't believe one would do all that work, and flub a rear axle dimension. Gotta' be an easier fix for you.


How about some pictures ? ? ? Need more intel' please.
