what rear end model a sedan

I am building a 30 model a sedan and I got a ford explorer disc brake rear end for it. when I channeled the body the calipers hit the body and the tires rub the the quarters. looking for a new wider rear end. Any suggestions? what are you guys using?

I used the rear out of a late 70's chevy truck for mine.

 

just thought to add this is an open wheel car so not worried about too wide

 

any other sugestions, what are you guys running, was thinking about mid 80's chev truck

 

Late 70's ford pickup 9 inch rear.

 

46 Ford in mine

 

using '50 ford with drums

 

57 chevy old 12 bolt front loader being used on a 28 sedan. Still needed to use wheel spacers and cut the body for axle space.

 

I'm runnin a 68 firebird 10 bolt in my 31 tudor.

 

I looked at some chevy truck rear ends then found an early eighties chev van it is 60" from backing plate to backing plate about 4 inches wider than the truck axle has anyone gone this route or is it too wide?
