[BaadAssGremlins] REL: wanted 9" ford rear/v8crossmember.

["jgray_55" <jgray_55@xxxxxxxxx>]

IF...you can find a 1957-59 FORD passenger car.....NOT a station wagon 
or a Ranchero...the 9" rearend housing will bolt right in a 
Gremlin/Hornet/Spirit...etc. First year the 9" was produced was 1957!
There is only about 1/4"-1/2" difference in the spring pad spacing. 
Either pull the springs abit in the bushing...or elongate the pad holes 
a very small amount....as i did.Actually the total overall rearend 
width (wheel mount flange to wheel mount flange)is about 1/4" 
narrower.....so it makes for added tire space. I have one of these 
exact rearends in my 72 Gremlin...along with a 3.70 gear with a posi 
unit.I've used that exact rear housing in several  auto's over the 
years. Getting HARD to find one at times...since the coupe/street 
rodders discovered them also!!!! Hope this helps,Joe
