1950 olds rear end

I recently bought a 50 olds 2 door coupe.Currently it's a one wheel peel.I guess what I'm looking for is there a use axle that will bolt right up?or what year the rear end I can use out of different car.

 

Too much work and money just to get a posi in my opinion.

You have a 5" bolt circle, and the rear might be around 60" from wheel mounting surfaces.

Olds did not have an optional posi until 58, and those are a lot of money and tough to find.

You will also need to mod the rear U joint for a donor rear, and maybe have to mod the driveshaft.

5'' patterns are also on 71-87 chevy pickups, maybe measure one and compare. Most likely have to move the welded spring perches, too.

 

just weld up the spiders like they did in the good old days.
