I need a 46" wide rear end in either 8" or 9" Ford to fit in a street rod I'm building, do you guys know where I can find data for the overall width of 8" or 9" rear ends? I'm getting all kinds of dimensions off diff websites, but have heard a 1974 Maverick is 46.5" wide? Any truth? Thanks! lsmjamison@lockesales.com
Maverick rear ends, wheel mounting surface to wheel mounting surface are 56.5 inches long. The housing itself is about 51 inches. Ford did not make one shorter. If you need one that short, you'll have to have one shortened or buy one already shortened.
46" Wide Rear End Needed ... Oh, for your car! I was gonna say there's a few ladies where I work that fit that description.
