NOTES:
1955-1957 Nomad - Built to order, due to the location of the gas tank, the pinion must be centered on the axle for clearance
Third Member - Currie housing and axle package requires a standard Ford 9-inch third member set up for 31-spline axles
Brake Lines - Hard brake lines are not included with Housing and Axle Packages. Currie offers kits designed to fit a broad range of brake packages
Aftermarket Brakes - Currie rear ends conform to the ABCS (Aftermarket Brake Configuration Standard). This allows brake kits that use this standard to easily be changed or upgraded without modifying the housing or axles. ABCS brakes use a 2.5-inch brake space with late-model big-bearing Ford housing ends and a 2.80 center hole in the drum or rotor
Wheel Studs - Currie rear ends use standardized-shank Currie Enterprises wheel studs that allow the following wheel studs to be interchangeable in the axles without drilling: 12mm, 7/16, 1/2, and 1/2 x 3-inch competition
