Actually it says rear, but I later found a picture like the one you posted, and I am speaking about the part described as Bearing Retainer. Mine is nearly flat. Not cupped like the one in your picture. I just posted the pict from my parts book in my gallery.

Thanks for the picture Bill, the seals are most likely still in the axle.

Is this normal in a 66 9" rear end??

C6AZ4020A (replaced A8AZ4020B) Axle Bearing Retainer: 1957/72 9" Passenger Cars, F100's & 1966/72 Bronco's.

DOTZ4020A .. Axle Bearing Retainer / 1970/72 F100: Use with Ford WFF H/D 9" rear axle that has a 9 3/8" ring gear, Limited Slip and 31 spline axleshafts.

Have you counted the axleshaft's splines? A PO might have installed this rear axle in your truck and ONLY five internal parts are the same as a 9 inch.

Housing gasket, one pinion bearing and race, pilot bearing retainer and the pinion seal. Everything else is different including the axle seals..and the axle bearings.
