well if you say so but ford says it isn't true....

you can believe what you'd like but ford would have a record of it if they made them as it would be needed for service to repair cars under warantee. my bet is somebody replaced the center as they are swapable. you can put a 9 inch in place of a 9 3/8 and use the axles as is but axle engagement is not ideal. a 9 inch should have a 27 7/8 and a 32 1/4 axle in a 66 bird but the 31 spline axles are 31 7/8 and 27 31/32. this means the 9 3/8 axles will work in a 9 inch but the RH axle will be 3/8 short of optimal and the LH is 3/32 longer (which is no problem and what I used but mine is a 62 so it is actually only 1/16 longer). a better fit on the RH axle is a 72 Tbird/lincoln Mk with 9 3/8 which is a 32 3/16 which gives full axle engagement (I actualy had to cut the extra 1/16th off! the shaft bottomed out on the spider cross shaft). hawkrod
