9 inch rear

Hey my buddy whats to buy my 9 inch rear off my 72 f-100. I was wondering what gears does it have in it and how much is it worth. Its off 72 f100 4 speed manual 4x4.

Thanks Michael

It should have a tag on one of the bolts in the centre of the rear end giving the ratio. As to what it is worth that depends on how good a buddy. Any where from $200 up depending on the ratio and condition.

There is a tag on one of the bolts holding the center section in that has a bunch of numbers on it. In the lower row, the first three numbers are the gear ratio. It'll be something like 3 50, or 3L50 if it has a limited slip.

Fomoko1, Down here in the south there is a train load of em for $200.00 and less. You probably couldn't get $20.00 for a 3.00 open, and not much more for a 3.25 open, and you don't have to ask how I know. That doesn't mean you can't find someone ask that for one, though.
