Or:

What do you need? Housing? Gears and bearings? All? Part?

Welcome to FTE by the way.

That there would be the Ford 9 inch rear axle. Famous, known as "..the poor man's quick change", as that drop out carrier makes gear changes a snap. Used in NASCAR, even in the Toyota car. Used in drag racing, all kinds of racing.

Used in all kinds of pickups too. Produced '57 to mid '80s.

AFAIK the Uni is the same width chassis as others of the same era, so I would think any F100 '61 to '66 is a possible donor for all parts.

Others here may be able to steer you to other years that share the same width and spring pads etc.

The brake backing plate is what you are talking about.

So you need it drum to drum and probably a few other parts as well.

You may have troubles finding a true drum to drum bolt in, but as long as you find a housing, you can switch your thrid member over, and your axles and the one good brake if all those parts are sound.

You can do that. Check overall width and spring pad width.

Check that housing for "true" also. You dasn't want a bent one.

I know this is a little late, but is the metal tag still under one of the bolts? There are people here that will decipher the code on it. Worth a look. The warranty plate on the drivers door gives much of that info if it the original. Good luck

F100 up to 72 will fit just fine. Make sure it is a 2wd, the 4wd has different brake cylinders.

There are lots of them in salvage yards around here, not hard to find at all.

57-72 F100 9 inch rear ends are basically all the same and will bolt in. '68-'72 have slightly bigger brakes.
'73 up are wider.

Well with this insight i think ill go ahead and buy the one of f the 57 I've measured drum to drum and spring to spring and I'm on my way to pick up the 57 i just hope they have all the parts at the parts store i want to get. On a side note this is my only truck i use it for work and play and everything else i rea_lly like this truck. I was at the gad station a while back and an older gentlemen came up and offered me 5 grand i told him sorry its not for sale i had anpther guy ogfetef me 9000 I'm curios what makes these trucks so valuble.l

Once you remove the axles it should come out.....might be stuck to the gasket. try tapping around the edges with a dead blow hammer or similar. Don't use a hard faced hammer, you can crack the casting.
