Re: 57 Rear axle swap
In my '58, I used a S10 Blazer 4x4 ZR2 rear. GM 8.5" (most are 8.625", but not mine). It has the correct Chevy bolt pattern, Disc Brakes and the width worked out really well with C2 Corvette Rallyes and 205/70R15 tires. It has 3.73 gears, which may not be ideal for some uses.
It is working well, I'm currently workout out a solution for the parking brake.
