what is bad in the rearend? Gears, bearings, seals??? If it is the gears, a new center section can be dropped in. If the entire housing needs replaced, 57-72 F100's use the sme rearends.

There is a 9" with springs in the classifieds with 3.75-1 gears. should bolt right in. Look in 61-66 engine and drivetrain parts
