Re: G body rear axle in a 55-59

I haven't put one of those under a task Force truck but I think my buddy has put several under them when he stubbed the trucks.

I've got a rear axle out of a 76 Cad Seville (one of those that looks like an overgrown Nova) that I have kept for years that looks like a good candidate except I think the gear ratio is in the 2's and it has a big flange for the driveshaft to bolt to. It came out of a Seville parts car I had and has 11 inch brakes. I don't know how it compares in width though.

You can trim the brackets off the G body rear end and get a pair of Moroso spring perches like these at most parts houses that have speed parts catalogs. O'reilly's can get them overnight if they don't have them in stock. http://www.jegs.com/p/Moroso/Moroso-...63126/10002/-1 You can get the U bolts at most parts houses or 4x4 shop.
