Does anyone know what came stock in a 63' Unibody longbed? If not is there anyway to tell besides pulling the axle and counting the splines?

 

Unless its been changed, its originally 28-spline.

 

IF it's a Ford 9 inch =

B7CZ4234A .. 28 Spline Axle Shaft / Right/Left is the same.

Fits: 1957/67 F100.

Sorry, that's in-correct.

1961/67 F100's were not available with a 9 inch rear axle with Limited Slip (L/S).

If L/S was ordered, the rear axle usually is Spicer-Dana 44 =

C2TZ4234A .. 19 Spline Axle Shaft / Right/Left is the same.

Ford also offered...as an option...a Spicer-Dana 60 with/without L/S for F100's.

C9TZ4234C .. 16 Spline Axle Shaft / Right/Left is the same / With/without L/S is the same.

 

If figured he was talking about a Ford 9" because he only mentioned 28 and 31.

 

IMO, that was because he had no idea Ford also used the two Spicer-Dana's on his truck.

People automatically assume their 1957/79 F100; 1975/79 F150 has a 9 inch, so they don't bother to look.

In fact, 1959/60's could also have a Dana 44; 1961/67's could have a Dana 44 or 60; 1977/79 F100/150's could also have a Dana 44.

btw: 1968 was the first year for 31 splines...but this rear end was an option, and though classified as a 9, the ring gear is 9 3/8" in diameter.

Only five parts are the same as a 9 inch.

Most 1968/72 F100's have 28 splines, as do many 1973/79's.

I've been searching recycle yards in my area for a replacement axle shaft. There aren't too many f100's in the 57-67 range w/ usable parts remaining.
I was wondering if other cars/trucks used these same shafts.

thanks in advance,
