Technical Not? A nine inch..

Picked this up for nothing, 5x5 looks like 63" fl to flange. I thought it was a 9 inch but my searches say maybe 9-3/8? I don't think that's right, but the weird (possibly) brake mounts have me puzzled....anybody ?
Thanks !

 

Any better pics?

 

Could be….there are bigger than 9” Fords that look very similar!

 

A picture of the pumpkin will tell if 9 3/8 . It’ll have a curve on the horizontal rib

 

That's what she said !!!

that looks the disc brake mount used on full size lincolns in the 70s.

show us the rest of it...

 

Lincoln Versailles had disc brake 9" (or 9 3/8") rears that were popular on '80's street rods. Replacement parts are no longer available, so their value has plummeted.

 

didn't the Versaille have 4.5" bolt circle? that's why I mentioned the big cars...he said it's 5 on 5

 

Big 70s Lincoln Continental or the like

 

How are you measuring that bolt circle?

 

it's a 9, not 9-3/8. No curve on the top horizontal rib. Scrape the crap off the front of it where the nuts are that hold the center section in, see if there's still a metal tag under one of the nuts. It would have all the info you want about the rear.

 

Or use one of these?

 

She been talking to you, TOO?

I have one for my '27 Touring Car. It came out of a 1978 Lincoln Continental Mark V.
The best way to build it is to utilize a 9" center section. As mentioned, there are no parts
for the 9 3/8" center sections. The 9" center section will bolt right in and you can use your axles
(28 spline) and Disc Brakes.

VR&C.

 

Looks like the axle tube is badly cut into:

 

yah just can't get good parts for free any more.

 

IF I remember correctly- they run a 28 spline diff,
check it for sure then.....
buy a new car based smooth back 9'' case with small bearing ends to match the width of the 8''
put the 9'' diff into that
slide in the shafts from the 8''
utilise the 10 by 1 3/4'' brakes

57.25'' wide 9'' axle with correct brakes for a little car in the ideal width 1928 - 1940
or, easy to find brake bits 1968 mustang complete brake set back plates out sub 100 bucks

 

and sell the 2.47 gears to a land speed racer

 

LOL I use those 2.47s in my RPU drag truck.
It hooks in a mudslide.

 

cool truck... looks fun A/F...I ran on the throttle a couple differant broggie cars in the 10.05 class... never won.. but had lots of fun.. you had to beat the electronic guys at the tree... they would run right on the number...
