A 57 Ford 9" housing is very highly sought after by street rodders. It is narrow and has a round smooth backside. Put it up for sale and get some $ out of it.

$100 for a whole 76 posi rear is a deal, go for it. I think it's probably too wide but there were earlier 4x4s that had pretty narrow housings, not to mention late model big Lincolns that also had disk brakes and I'm not talking about the Versailles. I've seen many of those at swap meets and they are pretty narrow.

Yup, the D60 or 8 3/4 is the politically correct way to go but sometimes money trumps correctness. I feel for ya.
