New to me axle
I found myself a nice project to work on. I’m aiming for next spring to have it done. It’s a big bearing Ford 9” out of a 78 Bronco. I’m thinking an air locker and 35 splines. I’ll probably pick up some bead locks and swap out the front spacers for adapters to correct the bolt pattern.

Re: New to me axle
Sounds like you got a good plan! Don't forget a pinion guard.

Re: New to me axle
I thought that you could get a Ford 9" with either a top and bottom pinion position. Was looking into doing a 9" front and rear at one point (Spidertrax)...Danb33 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 30, 2021 5:01 pmIt’s on the list for sure.MDSRACING398 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 29, 2021 11:57 pm Sounds like you got a good plan!

Re: New to me axle
You don't want a high pinion rear. You are run on the wrong side of the gears
