First time long time. I just rolled out a rearend out from a 77 ford pickup 1\2 ton, and the tag I found on it reads like this. WDM BC2 5MC then along the bottom is 3 00 9 386D. Can anyone tell me what size rearend this is and what gear ratio? I think it is a 9 inch with a 300 gear ratio. Has anyone used this 300 behind a small block? It's going under my 53 F-100. I enjoy reading everyone's post, had the truck for a while and now starting over, I'm down to the fram and trying to decide which ifs to use. Thanks in advence.
This is one of the "super duty" 9"rears that will work nice with an automatic.
A bit too tall for stick shift but you can swap in other 31 spline compatible clusters.
I used a 3:00 gear behind a small block in a 29 Ford and it was pretty doggy, but a lot depends on what transmission you use. If I had it to do over I'd use at least a 3:50 gear. A 3:00 gear behind a big block with a lot of torque seems to work out better.
