1950's ford car rearend

[Dynamicdan]

Are these decent rearends...are they a precursor to the 9" ...would i be retarded to trade my 42' ford truck banjo rearend for this one??? ..i will most likely be running a 460bb or a 394 olds ...just curious[S

Without a picture or description of the rear we can't offer anything.

There are so many newer, better rear ends to use I would pass. One thing that makes them tough to use is the availability and cost of repair parts, like brakes, etc. Even an 8 incher is stronger and easier to use IMO.

I scrapped a nice 49 Ford rear a while back for just that reason.

Especially if you want to run disc brakes on the car. Buddy of mine tells me the best rear end out there is from a TrailBlazer SS. He is going to be pushing 1200 HP to his...

The old banjo will not be a good choice either. Not strong and hard to find parts.
