Re: Ford 9 inch question Probably more trouble than it is worth. Most likely you will have to get the axle tubes chopped, new axles, have the LCA brackets moved or installed altogether. Then there is the problem of mounting the torque arm. ABS provisions,ect.

Re: Ford 9 inch question Okay, I did a search and found a good conversation from earlier about this. Seems no one has done it for much cheaper than a new one. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

Re: Ford 9 inch question You will have to cut off all the Ford brackets and install F-body compatable stuff. The axles would have to be drilled for GM rims. Those are the basics. All the stuff is available to do it.
The big variable that could make it a problem:
Is it the correct width?
If not, you have to deal with getting new/modified axles, modifying axle tube length, etc...
Good luck

Re: Ford 9 inch question You could, however, order a bare housing with the correct width tubes and axles, and weld your own brackets on from your old 10 bolt. Not sure how much that would save you though.

Ford 9 inch question I have access (free) to a Ford 9in w trac loc but it is still in a ford. What would it take to put this into my 2000 camaro? Just axles? Can it be done? What does it need and where can I get it?
