Hot Rods 1936 Pickup Rear

I’ve come across a banjo rear out of a 1936 pickup 1/2 ton. Are there any differences between a 36 car rear and the truck?
I’d like to run in a fenderless Av8 roadster. model a frame with a mild flathead and 39 three speed wit f1 cross member and brakes.

 

It's going to be a 4.11 gear. May be too wide for an A.

 

Same rear in pickup as car: But, look at the lower center flange of banjo for ratio.
Some pickups had lower gear ratios than cars, 4.11, also 4.44 comes to mind...
'A' frame with F1 center member's a good way to go, but may be made better with a pair of diagonal braces from center of cross member back to frame rails. (like rear of Ford X-member)
As @Roothawk says, width may be a factor. I have a '36 rear under my '27 T tub, with
'35 Ford V8 wire wheels. Actually, very narrow. Your results may vary.

 

Width should be fine for a fender less A. 35-36 rears have the wishbones with the spring hangars part of them. 36 would have mechanical wide 5 wheels.

Hope you got the Radius arms/wishbones with that rear...

 

I had a kid that gave me another set a while back and by the time I went to pick them up, he sold them on CL. My fault I guess for procrastinating.

 

What is that saying... You snooze you LOOSE !

I think we all have been there a time or so...

 

Thanks to all for the answers
I’ll be sure to check the ratios

I've got a 37 truck rear in my aV8 30 coupe. Extended the frame 7 1/2 inches and ran the spring behind. Don't have a picture from behind but width is fine.
