Could someone help me out with the dimensions of a stock 1950 Mercury rear end. Looking for the following dimensions: A= ? inches B= ? inches C= ? inches (I've seen 61 and 61.25 inches) Thanks!
The wheel mounting distance to wheel mounting distance (A) on my stock 1951 Merc. was 61 1/4 in. I sold the rear but I am sure the distance A is 61 1/4 in. as I measured it many times. The internet says 61in. That is incorrect. Read about it here. 1949 Mercury Rear End Question | The H.A.M.B. (jalopyjournal.com) Just curious, why do you need this info? Are you changing rear ends? I never thought to measure the other distances you need. A 1971-73 Mustang 9 inch rear has the same dimension (A). I have a set of 1971-73 Mustang axles(with bearings) if you need them.
Thanks for the response 19Fordy, Yes I'm changing the stock rear end for a Ford 9 inch. I need dimensions A and C to order the new housing.
