good looking truck, Ford 9" from an early 60's pick-up, bolts right in, springs right width, may have to make some top shock mounts to run tube type shocks. Best thing about 9" ford is variety of gear ratios. I run a 3.25 in my 41 truck, most run a 3.50

67 thru 72 1/2 ton Ford rear ends are a bolt in. Buy the aftermarket frame shock mount brackets, drill the frame for them and your on your way.
