Are all 9 in. the same? hey guys i am looking for a 9 in rear. my buddy is going to weld in the brackets and such to fit my car. my only question is, are all 9 in rears the same? i can get one from a 1966 pickup, im just worried if the designs ever changed?

They are not the same. The one for a 1966 pickup is most likely too wide. By the time you invest in brackets, cutting to length, housing ends, and new axles it would be cheaper to by one specific to an F body.
yup agreed because i tried it. plus the sponsors on here really do try to fix problem if they occur.
to let yo know some tubes but to the housing while others actually go in the housing which is better.

well my buddy is going to weld the stuff on for super cheap and he does it for a living so dont worry about the costs of that ****. i just need to know which 9 in rears to look for. what year or vehicles they came out of?
If you are dead set in going this route. I know the old Ford Bronco (66-75) Have a pretty Narrow 9" rearend. I used one to put in My 64 nova and it was the same length (All I did was swap the pearchs). That was a realitively easy swap but for the new Gen F-body, You will wish you just bought one. Just my .02

You mean he's a welder. In the end you'll wish you got one already made.
You can't beat $1000 for a housing and axle kit. If you want inexpensive get the center section out of the 9" you're looking at and put it in a axle and housing kit sold by one of the sponsors here.

Finding the TA bracket is going to be difficult. Moser does not sell it as a seperate part. That could cost quite a bit.
I can sell you the housing and axle package for 1050.00 shipped to your door.

$1,000.00 shipped to your door is my price, and it will seem like a steal once you get through all the hassles of trying to make something fit. What is your buddy planning to do for the torque arm? Bob
