Yes... I did a search and browsed the Alliance vendors first. I'm looking for an online source and prefer someone who can get it right the 1st time. An eBay vendor would be good. I just need a Ford 9" posi ham, ready to plug and play. I'd be interested in a used one if it was in good condition. I have to decide on the ratio once I take it apart. Axles are 28 spline and the pinion yoke is the 1310 series and short. This is going into my '59 Ford. Thanks!
Me and a buddy just bought third members from Quick Performance, $820.00 with new brand name gears, Trac-lok and Timken bearings with a stock case and bearing support. Look nice, seem to have good reviews. http://www.quickperformance.com/Ford-9-Complete-Center-Section-Third-Member_p_36.html
Thanks, just loaded it up from their menu and it came to $945, nothing special, True Trac was $546, was yours a spool? Aaaaahhhh found it, thanks again. I had picked the Eaton unit. $820 it is. Once I know what I want I'll talk to them. $47 to ship, not too shabby.
Last year I bought a kit for my 8" Ford from QP that came with a Yukon Trac-Loc, Richmond gears, Timken bearings and all the small stuff to complete the job. Quality parts at a good price.
A while ago there was a thread here or maybe the Barn (can't remember which) about a guy that was having issues with a rear end he bought from a different vendor and this company stepped up and offered to make things right. Seemed like a stand up company which is why I kept the link. Might be worth checking them out. http://www.johnsindustries.com/ 800-332-3450 TECH LINE: 906-265-9999
Do you have an idea as to what ratio you will use ? I don't understand why you must disassemble, before determining the ratio you want. Am I missing something here today ? I do have a 3:50 posi, with 290 miles on it, my reason for asking the above.
I tried counting turns & everything.. I am dyslexic and kept coming up with weird numbers. By the VIN code it should have a 3.56, by a gear ratio formula (based on tire size, speed, etc) it should be a 3.70. I have to take it out sooner or later and sooner works best since the weather here is taking a massive shit. I want either a 3.90 or 4.10.
I'm looking for the whole thing, right now I have more $$ than I do time. I plan to go through the old one anyway and may make that a posi as well.
