Post Help me find a Ford 9"
I need one about 65" wms to wms and 5 lug.

I'd like for it to have 31 spline, big bearings, and a nodular case. Those are all wishes...I can upgrade it later.

So, what did this axle come in?

Also, disc brakes...what's the easiest and cheapest way to do them?

Thanks!

78-79 BRONCO will have everything you want (not sure about the width). I am not sure about the trucks they might have been 28 spline.

What do you need one of these for?

Full size Bronco from late 70's all the way to 1986. They are exactly 65 inches wide, 5 on 5.5, 31 spline and big bearing pinion. I got mine out of an 82 for 25 bucks.

that is exactly what mine was. Out of a 78 F100.

Keep in mind the factory Nodular cases are hard to find. I just got lucky. Didn't realize what I had.

Also there are 2 nodular cases. One his bigger bearing journals that can take a 35spl carrier with no modifications. Don't know how to tell the difference though.

Don't think you'll finds anything stock like that (60" wms to wms 5on5.5, 31 spline, and big bearing). I think your gonna have to buy an aftermarket housing...

Are 9"s hard to find where you are? They're so common around here I get tired of tripping all over them when I go to the junkyard. A Nodular case is going to be hard to find. What I did is order a complete built drop-in third with choice of gear and locker from strange. Mine is a 68" WMS out of a '86 van. 31 spl. 5 on 5.5 Don't spend more than $80 on a bone stock one. That's dumb.

58.5 to 60" wide and 5 on 5.

Anybody know anything about it?

I think the car 9inches were small bearing, though I may be wrong.

According to this:

They are 28spline axles

Some of them are big bearing outers and yes they are 5 on 5. I think it is some of the mark IV's and Vs that have the disc brakes and they are big bearing fo sho ( I pull the brakes whenever I see them in a jy and sell them for big $).
