hi
are they any late models replacement rearends for 1956 ford.
something that somebody used without to much trouble
thanks for any help
 
theres several my 56 has a mustang rear from a 65 or 66.its more or less a drop in expect for drivrshaft.some use a 57 or 58 .both match up with your springs.
 
as stated ranger will fit with perch replacement depending on what your doing you could use a disk rear which is what I did in my wagon make sure you get all the mounts and drive shaft flange to rear end as this bolts to rear the only fab work I did was shock mounts to use original shocks if you need more info on ranger rears ck out ranger station . com
 
A 1990 Ranger Super Cab 4x4 will have the correct width, usually a 3.73 ratio, and factory Traction Lok. It will need the spring perches cut off, and new ones welded on.
Always be careful with four cylinder Rangers and some Fairmont/ Mustang with small engines. They will have brakes way to small to use on a big sedan like a 54 - 55 - 56.
 
Type Hi Q Ties in your search box and it will take you to a site with the info you want, also type Jegs rear end info, scroll down a little till you find 9" ford rear axle info Jegs

Depends on your definition of "not too much trouble"

The only ones I know that bolt right in without modification are the 65-66 Mustang (8 inch) and the 57-58 Fords (9 inch). 59's are the same length, but not sure if the spring mounts are the same. All the rest have different lengths and spring mounts. Granada's are close, but are a little wider and the spring mount location is different

The V8 Maverick (don't use the 6 cyl) is a little shorter and as far as I know have different spring mount locations.

The other ones mentioned will work, but will require some modification
