HISTORY
Frank Currie began designing and building differentials
for material-handling equipment back in 1959. He worked
out of his garage fabricating and assembling rearends
for personnel carriers, electric carts, tugs, scissor
lifts and other specialty vehicles. By 1964 the Currie
manufacturing facility moved to a 5,000-square-foot
building in Placentia, California. Frank's four sons
Charlie, John, Raymond and David entered the family
business full-time in the late 1970's. They also decided
to turn their off-road hobby into a family business
and began developing superior aftermarket rearends for
Jeeps.
In the late 1970's, the Currie's began building performance
rearends for V8 conversions in Chevy Vegas, and mini
trucks like the Chevy Luv, Ford Courier, and Toyota
Hi-Lux models. Currie Enterprises hooked up with chassis
shops in the early 1980's and designed and produced
9" rearends (based on the Ford 9") for kit
cars and street rods. The popularity of the Currie Rearend
grew and the enterprise expanded to a larger 7,000-square-foot
facility. In 1984, the Currie product line expanded,
and they moved to an 11,000-square-foot plant which
included state-of-the-art cleaning and tear down capabilities
for rearends.
The DANA 60 and Chevy 12-Bolt were incorporated into
the Currie Product line in 1986. At that time, Currie
Enterprises started designing and manufacturing complete
custom-built 9-inch rearend assemblies, with Nodular
Gear Cases, Alloy Axles, and Disc Brakes. Currie's in-house
capabilities grew and expanded. By 1999, Currie offered
a full line of driveline performance products including
rearends, components, suspensions and off-road Jeep
items.
TODAY
Today Currie Enterprises occupies a 27,000-square-foot
complex in East Anaheim, California. The company has
grown in size and the product line has continued to
expand. Currie Enterprises now has nearly 50 employees
and boasts a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility.
The Curries design, build, modify, test, sell, and install
rearend and drive-train products, all under one roof.
From humble beginnings as a dream of Frank and Evelyn,
Currie Enterprises has become the most recognized name
in specialty rearends and components.

redesigning and manufacturing the components needed
to continue offering complete rearends that exceed

and versatility.
