Looking for a measurement on a 56 Victoria 2 door hdtp. With the brake backing plates OFF what is the outside flange(where the backing plates bolt on) to outside flange measurement of the rearend?
 
My '51 rear measures 52 7/8", and a '57 measuers 53", so I'll bet your '56 is the same.

I have 2 sitting on my garage floor, one complete and one apart, The one apart is burried in the corner, but I can see that I had marked it as 52-7/8 in. wide (flange to flange). The complete one looks to be about the same, allowing for a slight arc in the folding rule (over the pumpkin). PS: The 59 Edsel 9 in. that I installed in my 56 is maybe a 1/4 in. narrower than the 56 rear. Paul Selfe.
