Model A guys recommend 53-56 Ford pickup
Thats what I used, actually up to 60 looks the same to me

 

would 4 bar and coilovers get me low?? got no parts at all hauled it all out
whats a good rear really want open driveline , got a 39 trans in car frame now, can that be converted to open drive??? want to stay w early ford patern. whats available for wheels??
gotta do this before its too late got screwed out of childhood, was born poor 62 yr young

 

heres one my old boss was building for a little inspiration..it has a 3" chop IIRC..

 

50's olds rear end. im using a 56 but the 57 are geared better iv heard. then for my flathead 59ab im using a open drive 3speed out of 4?-53 ford pickup truck. the ford pickups had the open-drive transmissions.

 

Hey, BondoBoy that 3" chop looks perfect your boss has a kick *** sedan.

 

Look for an early Ford Bronco nine inch rear. It should be close to the right width, and it has the lg Ford bolt pattern so you can stay with the old style rims easier. "Z" the front and rear of the fram to get the center under the body lower to the ground, if you do not want to give up space inside the car. I used a 4 inch drop axle up front with a reversed eye main spring and a 4 inch "kick up" in the rear to get mine lower. Of course there are a thousand ways to do this, these are just some sugestions to get you started.
