Does anyone have the widths of the rear axle on '70/'71 Torinos and '72/'73 Torinos?------------------

Well, I know the '66-'69 Fairlane rear axle is about 1-1/2" narrower than the '70-'71. I would guess the '72-'73 is wider. Doesn't the '72 have coil springs?Tracy

The housing I pulled from a 69 torino wagon is the correct width for a 67 mustang, I just can't recall the exact measure. I'll put a tape on it tonight for you and post tommorrow.Spring pads in wrong position though.
This housing is available at a good price if you need it.

Thanks Guys!The deal is that a friend of mine is trying to source a Ford 9" for his Chevelle, so the bracketry would have to be changed anyway. I have leads on rears out of a '71 and a '72, but I'd like to have a better idea of what might work before I go play with the wasps and spiders and snakes. ------------------

9 incher, located just outside of Atlanta.
The inside of the housing is clean, no rust or grit, it was recently disassembled so I could use the chunk and axles and the monster sized rear brakes (10x 2 1/2) for my mustang. The outside needs some scrubbing and probably a good bit of sanding to remove some surface rust, then paint. ------------------

72-76 axles are 58" flange to flange. They were big bearing axles,so the early rims will not fit. All are 9' in these cars. Not sure of 70-71.
