Posi??
I'm lookin for a new rear end because I'm getting kind of tired of only leaving a single burn out mark. Any suggestions as to what route to go for 383 w/TH350?

9" Fords are still the best, shouldn't be too tough finding one the right width for your pickup. Got one out of a Lincoln that has disc brakes on it, 63" from wheel mounting flange to wheel mounting flangeYesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Damien,
"posi" or pisitraction is a General Motors term for a clutch type limited slip. Other car companies use different names for the same principle. In addition to clutch type limited slips, there are also designs that do not use clutches; they use ratchets or some gear form instead. However, all get lumped into the "posi" bucket.
When you ask if a particular rear end is a posi, the answer is maybe yes and maybe no. There is no axle type that is always either a limited slip or not a limited slip......limited slip was and is an option. Therefore, just because you buy a 9-inch Ford axle, you dont know if it is or is not until you check it.
"posi" or limited slips use the same ring and pinion as does a non-posi axle...a non posi axle is referred to as an "open" rear end. The carrier is the part that the ring gear bolts to....it is different for a posi. If you have an open rear end, you can change it to a posi by replacing the carrier and setting the mesh on the ring and pinion.....or you can have it done by a compentent mechanic.
The addition of a posi does not make the rear axle stronger.
hope this helps you understand
