35 ford rear swap?

[Solo_909]

I ran a search and couldn’t find much on common rear axles used for swapping out the banjo rear end. My banjo is leaking pretty bad so time for an upgrade.

Side question, can the rear wishbone be used on the newer axle? I’m not really interested in running parralle leafs.

Thanks!

ANY complete banjo rear end, spring and torque tube included, will virtually bolt-in to your '35. All of the important dimensions are the same, '35-'40.

Your rear wishbones will only bolt-up to '35 and '36 axle bells. DD

I apologies, I should have been more clear. I’m looking to swap in someone more modern like a Ford Explorer rear end or something easily available at the junk yard.

Check on the H.A.M.B., you’ll find alit more info. Although I believe an early 9” from 57-59 will fit under the fenders, but hardly a bolt on job.

replace your seals and maybe the R&P

the narrow 9" fords from 57ish and early broncos are in demand, hard to find, and not cheap. unless you got 400 hp and like side steppin the clutch the 8" ford is a better choice. mavericks and other mid size fords. any one will be a big can of worms. find it, rebuild it, redesign your suspension, a good banjo sounds pretty easy to me!
