Hi Y'all Im having a little dilema i was hoping the experts at the hamb could help me with. I started this hot rod project with a 31' coupe but i saw this tudor and switched them. Problem is i have a rearend and wheels already. I have a posi rearend out of a 2002 chevy blazer 4x4 59" wms to wms. im thinking im going to need something about 64" wide to accomodate the new body. I was hoping that i could find something that was posi disc brake and at 64" to 65" with a 5 on 4 3/4 bolt pattern (seems like a long shot but i thought id ask anyway). im crossing my fingers that something like this exists. What are your thoughts or suggestions H.A.M.B.? It would be greatly appreciated.
I forget the measurement but I used a 95 s10 rearend it need 1" spacers on each side...it worked well
Why so W-I-D-E Most Model A owners want a 56 to 58 inch wide ( WMS to WMS ) rear end. I guess IF you are dropping the body down real low ... more width would be needed.

They also have the desirable ( to most ) 5 on 5.5 wheel pattern ( that a 1940 Ford has )
Thanks thats what I was looking for, weird I couldn't find it. I have the posi rearend from a 2002 blazer with 343 gears it sucks it wouldn't work. I'm putting the body on this weekend and I'll know better what I need, guess I jumped the gun
