A Google search didn't turn up much except an Ebay link for a 9" rear. Anyone have a site to check out?

I saw another post re. a Ranger or Explorer working for a '67. Mine is a '66 witha 200 I-6. Suggestions? I'm a chevy guy and just came across this '66 so I'm learning a lot fast.

I'll be putting in a stroked 351W down the road so I'm collecting the upgrades as I come across....

the ranger/ explorer is an 8.8" rear can be built tough, but you can start that way. whats your price range?

Hopefully junkyard range but I understand the importance of spending some $$ for the safety/quality. What year ranger/Expl for the 8.8" would work in the '66?

well i found a solution for you. It's possibly cheaper as well, yuo need to find a 66-77 ford bronco (shouldnt be to hard) they have a 58" flange to flange measurement, and if you look in the link below a 66 has a 57.25" flange to flange. thsi will give you your 9" rear and a good foundation for a lower cost of a newer ranger rear end.

Thank you! I hope this helped some other folks too.

While old Bronco's may not be hard to find in Alabama, they are few and far between in a lot of areas of the country. I know when I sold mine there was almost a bidding war on my driveway between 2 interested buyers. The chick with the big ones won .................

No kidding, those suckers are hard to find here. I'd get one for sure if they were available. Awesome awesome trucks.

I even searched craigslist, found nothing...
