1958-64 Ford 9” Rear End Installation - part I
Article By Randy Irwin
In the September 2009 Chevy Classic magazine we introduced a complete bolt in Ford 9" rear end for 55-57 passenger cars from the people at The 9” Factory. When that issue of the magazine hit we began receiving calls from the 58-64 crowd looking for a bolt in Ford 9” for there Late Great Chevys. We got on the phone with the people at The 9” Factory and we now have complete bolt in Ford 9” rear ends for the Late Great Chevy owner as well. Unless you have an elaborate jig; removing the original rear control brackets from a stock 58-64 rear end and then installing them on a 9" rear end in the correct location is nearly impossible. The brackets have to be aligned perfectly so that the control arms are not in a bind and the pinion angle is set properly. The 9” Factory has tooled up to build this rear end so that it is truly a bolt in unit. Just fill it up with gear lube, bleed the brakes and you're ready to roll.
