Ford rear end swap
I've decided to use a ford explorer rear end in my 59. I found a 3.73 locker with disk brakes, etc. My question for those that have done this swap before is which springs did you use? The ford's or the old one's from the truck.

Re: Ford rear end swap
You can remove 3 leeves and make it ride better if you are using it for a "truck" !!
