Ford Axles
Is it possible for a Ford 9" rear to have Chevy axles? I just pulled my wheel to check my rear brakes and found that. Someone took a 4 1/2 lug hole(bolt pattern) brake drum and drilled extra holes to match the axle lug(bolt pattern) which are 4 3/4. Did Ford make a 4 3/4 lug (bolt pattern)axle for the 9' rear? I know for sure it's a 9" Ford rear with 3.70 gears. I have just never seen a Chevy lug pattern on a Ford axle. Or do you think someone took a Chevy axle and had them resplined to fit a Ford rear? Thanks for your help!

Thanks! The drums were redrilled and he did a lousy job of it. But, the axles have not been touched. That is as far as for redrilling them. I looked really good and can't find where anything was redrilled or welded on the axle. I guess I'm going to have to try and find a Chevy drum close to what I need. Then just hope it works. Thanks again!

Could be a set of aftermarket axles, can have them drilled for most any bolt pattern you want....Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Learning must be difficult for those who already know it all!!!!
My grandfather, mom's side, drove a 39 Plymouth coupe when I was about 4 or 5 and I thought it was pretty cool and I loved the tail fins on the 49 Cadillac. I drew cars when I was in the 5th and 6th...
How did you get hooked on cars?
