Yes it's a bolt in (in terms of spring perch - u-joint & ds may need adjustment)....and bigger spline that only Wagons and Rancheros had I believe....maybe do a "two-fer" with the Pepsi machine....

 

it will bolt in and not need to be narrowed? as in install, fix u-joints and drive shaft, attach breaks and go?

 

Better jump on that 9 inch...57 - 59 Ford Wagons is one of the most desireable for our Mavericks and getting harder and harder to find. It's a direct bolt in!! Good score!

 

Yep!

 

I would like that Pepsi machine for my garage. I wonder how much it would cost to ship to Texas...

 

I have a '57 for mine and the perch location is exactly the same...the backing plate to backing plate width is I think about 1/2" a side longer than std Mav.
I haven't done the ujoints on mine yet so don't know (search here) and the brakes shouldn't be an issue unless they need a rebuild (likely) in which case you want might want to consider a disc conversion....

 

i sent an email. man i hope this works out!
whats the chance of it being possi/ true track/ 2 wheel drive/ what ever you want to call it

 

Early ones only possibility was Equa-Loc but they were rare, also I understand E-L is not so durable or cheap to rebuild compared to later Trac-Loc. Course it could've been monkeyed with in the past 40+ years so who knows....

 

Unlikely...sorry.

 

Its easy to find a track lok at a junkyard so dont sweat it.

 

I have one from an old bronco, year unknown. It is also 1/2" longer on each side. I need to pull it out of storage and see if the perches match. That would sure be nice...

 

Bronco perches are on top of housing.Mavericks are on bottom side.

 

I've got a couple of the 9" rears from 57's that I bought a few years ago and haven't used yet. I paid more than the $225 for each. My friend who buillds cars said to jump on them. He can't find them anymore.

 

i pick it up tomorow
