Thanks for the info. The 57 measures 60". What do you cut yours to? A 10" rim?????? with stock outboard shocks??????? Or do you have to mount the shocks inside the frame?
BTW, I'd like to use the Ford 9" but I've got a rebuilt 4:11 posi and it's going behind a 261 with an S-10 5 speed. I think the 57 should hold up well. Is ther a typical range of price for the Ford 9"?
