Re: IML: Substitution tapered axle on my 1956.

[RandalPark@xxxxxxx]

I have heard of guys using the third member from the 1965 Imperial to make up a conversion kit for the brakes and rear axles on earlier Imperials. I don't know if this could possibly work for '56. It might with enough modification, or maybe you could at least cobble something together out of parts from both the '56 and the '65. I am just throwing this out there, without any real back ground in it, but since you asked...

>I need your help on this one. I am doing a frame-off restoration on my 1956, which has a Torque-Flite, my plan is to use my car as a daily driver. My purpose is to maintain the original look that my car had back on 1956, I need to update some parts with newer technology, I am planning the installation of an alternator and front disk brakes and also (here is where I need your help) I would like to change my actual differential for a newer one, from Chrysler, but not from the tapered axle type that is what I'm trying to avoid. Some of you know of if this other differential exist?
