Foutain of Knowledge,
I come to you with a burning question. My 57 (3100) still has the standard Hotchkiss rear. I am looking at replacing this a more modern rear end.
I measured my rear end and it's 59 3/4 wheel mounting surface to wheel mounting surface, Not the 62 " as in the tech tips flange to flange measurement. I found a 79 Seville that's 61 and has the disc brakes on the rear, or a F**D 8.8 with disc that's 61 ", which way would you guys go? This will be a cruiser not a 1/4 mile truck, what pitfalls would I have with either rear end.
Thanks in Advance,
Mike
