Re: What rear end to use for my 59 Chevy pick up

may not be anything that will just "bolt up".. your probably going to have to find a axle and weld mounts to it...what rear do you have now...what are your goals? ..cruiser , hotrod, highway driving or just in town..all this will along with tire size and trans gearing will help determine what gears your gonna need for your optimum rpm range.you gonna need posi?..
going with wide tire or narrow?
if your keeping the wheels and tire you have now the bolt pattern falls in play..
measure your wms to wms and bolt pattern and start there..
also need to make sure your rims will fit over a disc brake setup..smaller rims may not
