Nope, wrong spline count.

Welcome to FTE

Someone just asked a similar question earlier today in the 1961/66 forum.

Ford part number:

C9TZ4234C .. Axle Shaft - 16 splines / Right/Left is the same / Obsolete

C9TZ4234C replaced B5D4235A.

Fits: ALL 1956/74 F250 2WD/4WD Dana 60 / Some 1975 F250 2WD/4WD Dana 60.

Fits: ALL 1961/72 F100 2WD/4WD Dana 60.2, 60.3.

Sorry, no Ford Dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.

Dana part number:

35445-1 (C9TZ4234C) replaced 30282 (B5D4235A).

It might be possible to order a new axle shaft from Dana thru a parts store like NAPA.

Well if you have an actual locker and not the dana limited slip than axle splines could have been changed by now. You need to pull the axle and count the splines. The 16 spline is such a bad axle that you can get them for free. Post an ad on here or go over to pirate4x4 and check there.
