I am looking for a good fabricated rear end for the new ride. I am not sure of the width yet but it will be for ladder bars. All of my internals are still usuable so I will just need to cut the axles down to the correct width.

What housing have you had good luck with?

My T-Bird has a Fab 9 housing from Alston. I like it.

It's their mild steel for ladder bars. One of the bottom 2 on this page. Only diff is the bracket spacing.

I'm looking hard at using the Racecraft housing in my Futura. Probably use their uppers/lowers too.

Fab 9 with a backbrace and call it done. When I got mine from dutchman axles, they said they have several guys 1000+ hoursepower guys running them with no complaints. They had a package at the time for the housing at whatever leingh with what everends you wanted welded on and up to 35 sline axles for 700 bucks. So I went that rout and never looked back.

The 'moly fab housings from VP race cars were a nice looking piece. But now that VPRC is gone the next best thing is either one from K&K Advanced Door Car Technologies (past VPRC employees) or R2B2 race cars (Jim Geese's new home).

The ART fab housings in their catalog look like they might be OK too.

Of all the guys Ive talked too, the Alston piece is one of the best. His stuff is pricey, but everything he builds, is like jewlery
