I have a bare bones housing for a Ford 9".  It is a little over 56" from flange to flange and is for the small bearing 28 spline axels.   What will the measurement be drum to drum when it is all together?   What is the length of each of the axels?

  I have no idea of what it is out of other than it has leaf spring pads.

 Thank you, the 2nd site is especially helpful.  Now if I knew some years, makes, & models it may make it easier at the wrecking yards.  The leaf spring pads are in the original factory position.  They are at 45" center to center.  Thanks again

     Thanks Matt.  We may have to go to L.A. next week.  If they have a store front or shop we will try to visit them.  Thanks again,
