Re: 9" rear in a 53 f-100
Drive shaft may or may not work as length needed may be different. Make sure you have 3/4" to 1" free play when you measure. The stock U bolts and spring plates should work along with your stock shocks as I recall.

Re: 9" rear in a 53 f-100
You can bet that the driveshaft and probably u-joint yokes will take some modifications. I've never been lucky enough to get a 100% bolt-in with swaps like this.
BTW: When I built my high-horsepower 32 Coupe (520HP SBC), I put a custom 9" rear in it and needed a custom driveshaft. I ordered mine from Strange - cost a little over $300 - with high quality components and made to order. Thought that was a very good price for a chrome moly custom piece: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/str-u1699 |
