It's a little more work but you can get a wider 9" and narrow it down to whatever width you want and get axle shafts made Sent from my...
I agree with Beaner on the above. There's a lot of build styles I don't like but try to put that aside and look at the work that has gone into it...

As far as replacing the treat end look for an 8.8 out of a mid late 90's explorer or mountaineer. Already the right width and bolt pattern, disc...

So I'm curious. I had a 53 Caddy with either factory of dealer installed a/c. Would swapping in a period correct motor that originally came with...
Maybe it's just me, I'm on the younger side so I wasn't around when the traditional build was original but I thought part of the hot rod build...

Me and the wife bought our shoebox right after our first roundup together and I keep saying I'll have it done in time for the next one. This...
