The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Rear-end swap question

The bolt pattern is different so you would need new wheels or adapters. I would not love adapters on a truck plus they change the track width. I think there are better rear end options. The 9" rears from later trucks would work but I don't know the widths you would need. They typically are 62" or so so are wide. An early 9" bronco would be nice as the width is 57 and has the early bolt pattern. I am going to have one of those for sale.
