Default fabbing 9" for Fbody

just curious, does anyone know what it takes to fab up a ford 9" to fit under a fourth gen? does the width need modified any? what brackets do you use? anything else?

The above link may be the best way to go for you. All you have to do is to install a used center section. Bob

Damn, so it's $1050 with free shipping AFTER the add-on options (assuming you choose the one's that don't have a price next to them)?

Buying used 9" stuff is good and bad. Make sure you price out the cost of the torque arm bracket, yoke, pinion nut etc.

I just bought my old 9" back from the guy I sold my Formula too, and I paid up a bit for the (used) stuff since I was the last one to make passes on it.

I've see used center sections with yoke, no torque arm bracket for as cheap as $450, and as much as $800.
