I sent you a PM about a 12 bolt.

If you find a rear end you can narrow or widen to fit you application.
When doing a mini tub I recommend picking a rim with a standard back space then fit the rear. Depending on the company it could run up to a $1000 for a custom back space thats even if it can be done.

I just finished installing the complete DSE mini tub kit on my 69 Camaro. It was one of my first fabricating experiences. It was not tooooo difficult - just time consuming. I also just go in my new Moser 12 bolt rear end for the car. I have 18x12 Budnik rims for the rear with 5.5bs and I ordered the rearend 55 1/4 wheel to wheel and it fit perfect!

How much did that new Moser run you?

Any one know much it cost to get the kit installed.

sorry if this is a stupid question, but is it really necessary to narrow the rear end? why cant you just run a wider rim with correct backspace?

It's not necessary, but IMO less backspacing is more desirable to look at. I'm running 18x12's with 6" oF BS.

You can - it's just that lots of people like to run wheels with the smallest backspace possible so as to create a deep wheel lip for visual effect.

ah ok, thats what i thought. just wasnt really sure since so many poeple get their rear ends narrowed.
