Rear axle Ok, so I got my 1972 F100 9" rear axle yesterday, and started checking it out... First, the fill plug is all torn up. Looks like someone tried to use a chisel already to loosen it. Not much left of it. Will have to find another way to get it out. I read a thread where a guy was...

Torchie: I agree. Definitely want to keep the rear wheels close to the bed, and I also agree with the narrow tire look. That's what I'm going for. As far as backspacing, I guess I'll wait til I get the 9" installed and measure from there. Thanks again for the feedback.

Thanks for all the warm welcomes. Will post a couple of pics in the photos section and looking for wheel/tire combination suggestions.

Just joined after lurking for a few days reading threads. I'm in the Austin, TX area. Attended the Lone Star Roundup last April and got hooked. I recently bought a 1949 F2 pickup that has been "modified" and want to straighten it up a bit and modify it a bit more. Looks like a great group of...
