    I was browsing craigslist and found an add for a Gent selling 3 ford 9 inch rear ends from full size vehicles.

    Are these interexchangable with our Mavericks when they are from full size vics?

    If it turns out they are I will probably be heading down to get one...anyone else in my area (I know there are a couple of you) needs one let me know and I can scoop you up one aswell and maybe get us both a little better of a deal ;)

    too wide unless you narrow it. if your looking for a bolt in, then find a versailles or 57 ranchero unit

    Yep, too wide. 57 Ford Ranchero or wagon is a direct bolt in. :)

    The 9" in my Mav is from a 70 Mustang, just had to get correct offset wheels. Mine are 15x8 with 6" backspace. Those in the pictures are for coil springs so you's have to do some mods there.

    9"

    Those are not 9" fords they are 93/8" out of full size fords you can tell by the rib that turns down on the center section and they are very weak not a performance part so warning to all steer clear of them.

    The axle housings are the same. The last one I had, had a WAR case center section in it and it was a 9".

    If you do a search...
    Someone on here found that an 8.8 from an Explorer fits well.
