Hello. Yes, I do, Postal Mopar does. Same kit, same parts. You can see pictures on the Postal Mopar driveline brakes thread. This truss works very well. Some may have noticed them under the "T-birds" at Topeka. Yes, 14 bolt assemblies under 1958 Thunderbirds. Probably a first, not for sure? These are a narrow assembly for the narrow T-birds (58" flange to flange). The 14 bolt truss kit is the same though, for any 14 bolt housing, from under a truck to compact cars. Thank you for asking. David Bryan

Hello. driving big toys. I am not sure of what you ask. A factory Ford 9" truck housing uses the same length shafts. The left shaft is the same length as the right shaft. The factory Dana 60 also has same length axle shafts. The left shaft is the same as the right shaft. However, most Dana 60 housings are floater type. Ford 9" and Dana 60 axle shafts are not the same. I am sure you and most people know this, so, what are you asking? David Bryan

Hello. Are you (do the rules allow) allowed a Ford 9" assembly in a GM or Mopar? Are you allowed after market axle shafts? IF yes to both, I have the answer. David Bryan

Hello. I have been working on a new housing. This is all new, no used parts. This all new housing will look like a factory Ford 9" housing from the outside. No braces...on the outside. These housings will be for the "hobo" or "stock" type rules. Nothing is stronger than the factory GM 14 bolt housing. The factory Dana 60 is a close second. These housings will be next in line. As far as a factory car housing, nothing is stronger, not even close. These new housings will be far stonger than the "track 9" housings I have made in the past. Now, if you want to brace this housing AFTER you get it from me, that is up to you.
Being a Ford 9" housing, Ford 9" center sections will work. The housing ends will be deep bore only, for the 45mm Timken bearing, or my bronze bushing. My HD housing end with flange protecter and HD leaf bracket is an option. However, this is not then for the hobo or stock class rules. And, all Moser Hobby stock axle shafts will work. From 28 to 40 spline, all the same price. With the addition of an after market HD case, there is now no reason NOT to go 40 spline. David Bryan

Can the big housing ends be put on a hybrid rear with stock GM bia ends? I read somewhere that was better to use c-clip ends. Would hate to start fresh again considering we already have several 9" hybrids

Hello. 71 wagon? Well... what wagon? The 1971' Buick and Olds (full size) wagons, most likely, will have the 31 spline bolt in axle shafts. (12 bolt cover) The Chevy and Pontiac, most likely, will not. (10 bolt cover) The Chevy and Pontiac will have 31 spline "C" clip axle shafts.
Big housing ends (deep bore) can be welded on most any housing. Ford, GM, Mopar, Dana, etc..) IF you are building a GM 8.5" housing, it is usually best to start with a "C" clip housing. They are cheaper than the bolt in housing. Either housing requires cutting, and welding. IF you have a Ford 9" center with GM tubes (hybrid), cutting and welding is required. To use 35 spline axle shafts, go with the Ford 8.8" housing. Only up to 33 spline in a GM 8.5" (In my opinion). David Bryan

Hello. 262markm. The price is still $180. The problem is I have none for sale. I have sold many hundreds of these. The demand has dropped off a lot as the great GM 31 spline bolt in axle shafts are about gone. I do not see much more of a future in the 31 spline GM spool. Yes, you can order new axle shafts, but then, why not go to 33 spline? Or go 8.8" and order 35 spline? That is my question. I may or may not re-order from Strange Engineering. I will make up my mind soon. Thank you for asking now.
driving bigtoys, The housing is now available. The price is $650.00. Postal Mopar will have pictures up in the next few weeks. This all new housing is a Ford 9" housing. It is made to look like a factory housing. This housing is for the "hobo" or "stock only" type of rules. There are no braces on the outside. And for most derbies, it requires no braces at all. The price includes the 1/4" wall center section (with 3/16" back cover), new third member studs, drain plug, internal gussets, 3" (1/2" wall DOM) alxe tubes, and Moser deep bore housing ends. These are all jig welded to be true. This is the stongest, factory stock looking, Ford 9" housing on the planet. Bar none. No brackets included, bare housing only. The housing is made to use equal length axle shafts, and is 59" wide, housing end to housing end. This will result in a track width of about 63 3/4". Yes, it may be braced, but again, it is made for the "stock" type rules. All for now. David Bryan

Can you enlighten me on axle savers? Do these actually go inside the tube, behind the bearing race or are they external and just butt up to the brake (back) side of axle flange?
