Re: Which Rear?
I went with the Mitchel overdrive, For the money and work involved to convert to open drive and later axle it made the most sense. The Columbia would be my second choice. I have been down all three roads over the years, and as stated above hacking up your coup and putting in a 3.00 ford 8" will make your little flathead very sluggish in traffic and no fun on hills. I did this in my 42. The Columbia option is a bolt in and works well but it will take a chunk of change and a little searching . My 38 Lincoln had one. For around the same amount of change you can order your Mitchell Over drive and just bolt it in. It comes with a warranty and is new with all its parts still available if needed.
