I found someone to narrow my f100 rear 9” housing and I am pulling my hair out going over numbers on what measurement to make the housing to accept 77 bronco axles. I have the 11x2 1/4” drum breaks already. I have done a ton of searching on this site and the webs to find no documentation of this happening before. One mentioned getting the shafts I need And measuring the difference between the shaft that came out of the housing and cutting that dimension off the tube on each side. A rather great idea but I haven’t got them and even if I did it would take me a little bit and maybe some fancy measuring. Has anyone ever done this before take a full-size pick up with 9 inch housing and make it except 9 inch early Bronco links axle shafts from a 1977 bronco?
And if so, did they center the center section in other words the 9 inch center chunk, is it centered in between the wheels? This would still offset the pinion, correct?
Last question, what was the final width of the axle housing measured from the outside of the backing plate mounts; the lip where the backing plate bolts to the housing?
Thanks in advance!
