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 packages require 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. However, Currie offers universal hard brake line kits designed to fit a wide variety of applications
