Re: Axle Identification
Looks like an 8" Ford to me. Early Mustang,Maverick,Fairlane, etc. Resembles a 9" but the bolt pattern on the drop-out center section is more oval shaped.

Re: Axle Identification
With the straight axle tubes and the two dimples, I would say its a 58/59 9". To tell if 9" the bottom bolt of the drop out can not be taken off with a socket. 8" and socket will go on all bolts. But I don't recall any 8" having straight axle tubes, most neck down at the U bolts.

Re: Axle Identification
If possible post a photo of the other side that faces towards the front of the car.
Will the bottom of the U-bolts clear the scrub line? |
