Would the rear trike set up from a Schwinn fit a JC Higgins frame? Any mods needed?

Help Support Rat Rod Bikes Bicycle Forum:
If the kit bolts into the rear dropouts then it will fit into the dropouts of any other bike you use. They are usually interchangeable since Town and Country's are basically a trike rear end bolted to a 24" girls frame. Any mods might include a shorter crank incase the installation of the kit puts the pedals too close to the ground.
It looks like a Flightliner frame doesn't fit without mod...deciding if I wanna cut the frame.
Hi i know this is an older thread, but here is how I got an old schwinn rear-end to bolt up to a new Sun cruiser...
The trike
The brace to the frame had to be extended for the rear-end to sit straight/flat/level... I used pieces of a walmart Schwinn to accomplish this...
Then, for added strength and stability, I added 2 more bolts for a total of 4, this REALLY stiffened the bike up...
