Swapping A Junkyard Ford 9-Inch Axle
Easy BeefThere are only few go-to axles that we like to use when doing a budget axle swap. We typically look for these axles because they are strong, easy to find, inexpensive, and easy to modify. The Ford 9-inch is the king of swapped-in axles. No other axle enjoys as many aftermarket parts. Versions of the Ford 9-inch can be found under muscle cars, hot rods, roundy-round race cars, desert prerunner trucks, and of course Jeeps. You could even build a Ford 9-inch completely out of aftermarket parts. But our favorite wrecking yard version of the Ford 9-inch can be found under ’74-’86 F-150s and ’78-’86 Broncos. It features the legendary Ford 9-inch ring and pinion strength, 5-on-5.5 lug pattern (same as older Jeep), a 65-inch width at the wheel mounting surfaces, large-bearing semi-floating axles, and many can be found with hefty 31-spline axleshafts. Another bonus is that the axleshafts are of equal length, so you’ll only need to carry one spare should you choose to.
