Probably had the wrong spline count or a different length shaft, or there are several different axles..

Look for the Ford AXLE ID tag on the carrier, should be bolted on at 5 o'clock. Post the code.

If the tag is missing, post the AXLE code off the Warranty Plate.

There are several different 9 inch rear ends used on 1973/79 F100/150's. Some have 28, some have 31 spline axleshafts.

If you post the code(s), I can tell you what you need.
