Galaxie rear axles (see Galaxie 500 post below)
By GCF - 09/17/2002 3:24:17 AM; IP 152.163.188.231
In that thread someone says "All Ford and Mercury big cars including T-Birds and Lincolns and Galaxies from '58 through '72 had 9 or 9-3/8 inch rear ends. " He in in error. To quote Hot Rod Tech, Tips & How-To's 2000 issue: "Beginning in 1967, some fullsize Fords were fitted with an axle that service books list as an 8.8. Though similar in appearance to the later 5.0L Mustang style 8.8, internal parts are not interchangeable (or readily available). Avoid it for performance use."
My '70 Galaxie has one of these axles. It looks all the world like a GM axle with it's rear inspection cover.
This thread, so far...
