ford 9"
Ive been looking around trying to find a 9" for my conversion on my 68 mustang and i know the measurements on the mustang 9" but a guy has a rear end and he measured his at 52 1/2 on the closest points on the backing plates and 42 1/2 center of spring pads. Would this work on my car?

The measurements are correct for a Mustang. If it is a big bearing housing, with a 2 1/2" brake offset, that would make the total width 57 1/2". Subtract 1/4" for a small bearing housing, the width would be 57 1/4".

Ok ill keep trying to find out the exact measurements. There is a guy near me who has a 9" and thinks its out of a mid 70s granada and i couldnt remember if people just swap these rear ends into late model mustangs. can anyone help me?

An early Bronco rear would have the wrong bolt pattern (5 x 5 1/2) as well as a weird brake offset that requires special brake shoes and hard to find drums. Around here the supply of 9" rear end housings that would fit a Mustang dried up about 10 years ago. The best bet is to use a '67-'72 F-100 pickup housing, and have it narrowed to fit.
