I scored this rear at a salvage and can't figure out what it is. Small ford lug. 52.25" from flange to backing plate flange. 17 spline axles. Any info would be great.
could be a 49-56 ford car rear? they look like that, with the funky ujoint, round drop out third member, small Ford bolt pattern, etc.
found this pic on the internets, for sale claiming to be from a 56 ford. Looks pretty close from what I can tell
I don't think those are Spicer axles. Ford used Spicers on the wagons and trucks in that era, they have the removable rear cover, not the drop out center.
Looks like my 56 Ford sedan rear and U joint. If I can make a 32 Ford rear end live then this will probably work for me. I'm too cheap to buy a 9" Ford rear until it is necessary.
