Rear axle width change
Lost my notes. What year did ford widen the rear axle on the trucks? At some time in the future I want to put a higher geared rear axle in my '64 f250.
Thanks. john

73 was when the rear track was widened to match the widened front I-beam in 65. Your 64 tracks should match now.
You should be able to change ratios in the Dana although it will be a bit harder.

On an older thread I had mentioned what I wanted to do. According to the door plate my dana 60 has 4.56 gears so I would need to change the carrier. Throw in the 19 splined axles and it looks like it would be cheaper and easier to pick up a newer axle and put it in.
