Info needed about rearends
Hey guys, I need some info on this generation 9" axles. Specifically 1964.
There's one on Craigslist that I'm thinking about buying, but the seller doesn't seem to know much about it.
What gear ratios were most common?
What was the overall width? Spring width?
If its the same width as the axle that was under the 67-72 trucks then that's great, cuz that's what I need it for. If it's likely to have lower gears, like 3.70. 3.90 4.10 that's even better, cuz I need a set of those too.

Same idea just different...
I took a 351C and tranny out of a 1972 1/2 Ranchero and put it in my 1961 Ford Uni...used the original rear-end (believed to be 4:11)! It runs great but lacks take off power...needs a different gear ratio!! I'm new on here...I'm still trying to figure out how to post a picture to my profile...hahaha

Back to the top with this one.
So the general consensus is that a 64 housing SHOULD bolt up under a 68 frame/springs without a problem other than the shocks and piddley stuff like that right?
I'm probably going to buy this axle, if nothing else just for the third member. But it would be real nice if I could kill 2 birds with one stone and have it fit my trailer too.

1961 Ford rearend...
Sorry C4...my terminology was wrong...I think I meant top end, because my motor has to work too hard to keep a 65 to 70 mph on the highway. I've now been told that it's probably a 3.73, but have not officially found out for myself. I'm thinking I might need a 3.25 now...does that sound right??

9" Limited Slip introduced in 1959, but it was not available in F100's until 1968.
1959/67 F100's: If Limited Slip was ordered, Ford installed Dana rear axles, either the Dana 44 (1959/67), or the Dana 60.2 (1963/66) or the Dana 60.3 (1966/67).
The 60.2 & 60.3 are not Dana 60's, which were only installed in F250's.
B7TZ-4234-A .. 9" Axle Shaft-28 splines: 1957/67 F100.
C8TZ-4234-A .. 9" Axle Shaft-28 splines: 1968/72 F100.
C8TZ-4234-B .. 9" Axle Shaft-31 splines-Use with 9/3/8" ring gear & Traction-Lok.
9 vs 9 3/8: Only 5 parts are the same, housing gasket, pinion seal, pilot bearing retainer, one pinion bearing & cup. EVERYTHING else is different!
1957/64 F100: Common 9" ratios were 3.25 - 3.70 - 3.89 - 4.11.
1965/67 F100: Common 9 ratios: Add 3.00 & 3.50 to above. 3.00 & 3.25 were usually only installed with A/T.
F100 9" axle shafts are the same right & left. Passenger Car, Bronco & Econoline 9" axle shafts are right and left specific.
1959/67 F100's: If Limited Slip was ordered, Ford installed Dana rear axles, either the Dana 44 (1959/67), or the Dana 60.2 (1963/66) or the Dana 60.3 (1966/67).

I mistakenly posted this on another thread.
This article is very useful about the 9" rears.
Hemming's Motor News: Ford 9-inch differentials | Hemmings Motor News
There is also a lot of info on the Mustang sites also.
Hope this helps.
