Keith, the rear end is still the factory one. I will just build the new one the same, just need to pick what it is.

What’s the width of the rear?
Around 61 inches flange to flange.
Just asking because of the way Chevy and Pontiac have always shared certain parts and how they use the same parts over many years. I thought maybe your car and my 51 Chevy may share the same rear ends/dimensions. I had up graded the rear in the 51 to a 57 rear the first time I put it together, it was almost a direct fit. The 57 rear measures 60 inches drum to drum and Quick Performance has a complete Ford 9 inch setup configured to the 57 for what I thought was a good price that I am planning on picking up. Just thought you might be interested in something like that
I do have a 9 inch Ford rear that would work or a Franklin quick change that I could build for it also.
Not sure how much was shared, this car had an open driveshaft.

Frame material for Geronimo.
Plan is to profile the front frame parts something like one of these.
Christmas came early got the new front wheels.
Is that 2 x 6 material ???
Yes, it matches the size of the frame where it has been chopped off.
It will make that dramatic frame horn look that much better
Got the tires mounted on the new front wheels.
GOD, I LOVE THOSE PIE CRUSTS out back!
Had always wondered when the Cragar SS wheels came out. Found this 1964 Drag News cleaning at Richards shop today and it had the wheels in the what's new. 
Guess now I know.
