Ford 9" rear swap....
[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 02-Jan-01 AT 09:58 PM (EST) by StockMan (moderator)[/font][p]Hi people, I know this doesnt really have much to do with trucks, but I was wondering if my 9" rear off of my truck would slap right into a 67 Mustang? Thanks,
Mike
P.S. Can you also tell me what the spline count on it would be and the gear ratio? Its coming out of a 79 Ford F-150

Nope. The truck housing is too wide overall, the shock setup is different between the two, and the spring perches won't line up with the Mustang springs. The u-joint is probably different, also. You might try finding another nine incher in a Fairlane, mabye?

Either 28 or 31 spline. Anywhere from 2.75 to 3.73. But I'm just guessing.

I figured the gear ratio would be somewhere in that area I was thinkin 3.50. Is there any way to figure that out? Im pulling the axles tomorrow so ill just count the splines.
Thanks again,
