hi all,
recently i got a ford 9" houseing from a mid 70's ford truck (thats what i
was told when i bought it) it already has the spring perches ground off and
is ready for new ones, it is the same width as the cadillac rear end thats
in my '57 now. i also got a carrier and gear set for free from my auto body
teacher, now, my questions are,.
is this a 31 or a 28 spline rear end?
how can i tell if its a traction lock or a open differential?
can i get an ARB air locker for this rear end?
summit has some richmond gears, they only list 9", could i buy these and
will they work with an ARB locker?
how can i tell if its a 2.891" carrier bearing or a 3.062" bearing and if
its a 3.062", its it a normal bearing or a daytona pinion support?
i also need axles that will fit, with chevy 5 on 4 3/4" bolt pattern, where
can i get these?
i dont know much about rear ends, and as far as i can tell without seeing
what i have, theres no numbers to reference off of. any help is GREATLY
appreciated.
thanks in ADvance
