Re: 9in rearend

It's a narrowed Ford 9", but it looks like it might be mounted with GM springs.

Re: 9in rearend

its all custom and stock metal, no frame or factory steel in it.

what makes you think they are gm springs and not dart/challanger/mustang or any other car mono spring?

Re: 9in rearend

there is a big difference between that rear and a regular 9".



they look long like a mono leaf from a 60-70 muscle car but you can get any main leaf and use it.

mono leafs suck on there own, you need som e wrap control or you will twist them up and break them or your ujoint/driveshaft.

88+ picks ups use a 63" long spring thant is relitively flat.
