can anyone tell me where I can get bearings, parts blow up, etc?. I got this with some other early ford parts and looking at trying to piece a rear end together or maybe sell don't know which way to go. Any one know what pcs I have would be worth? lower shaft is 10 spline, sides are 11 bolt, and the bearings in it now are ball type instead of roller.
That's a nice 11 bolt case. Many times the pinion nose bearing support is cracked or broken. You have the beginning of a Quickchange. In addition to what you show, you will need a pinion bearing retainer, a ring and pinion, front seal plate and a differential or a spool. To use the iron bells you have, you will need to have a spacer in the left hand side and may need to modify the differential to get the correct backlash on the R&P. The bearings are standard part numbers. You can adapt a Timken double cup roller bearing to pinion, but it is not a drop in deal. If you try to put it in the case without mods, it will split the case. Message me and I will give you some prices.
The bearings are the same as a modern oval track Q.C. Speedway Motors or any speed shop should have parts in stock. The 10 spline Q.C. are based on the Ford/Stude 3/4 ton split floater rear.
Talk to this guy, you will get invaluable information that is second to none, lots of companies sell parts but "one on one" tutorials are rare ! This is the same unit that you have.
It's got an original 12 spline open differential, using the OEM flange/floater axles. 23,000 miles and counting, since I built the car a dozen years ago. For those who are interested in Champ Quickchange rears, this is the type of unit, that was the basis for the originals.
Ah-ha! The light bulb just came on! Thanks Marty. I've seen those rears under trucks but never made the connection.
