Has anyone welded the ford big bearing ends on their 60 to make it a SF 35 spline 60 w/o using a jig? Can you just cut the tubes off straight and weld the ford ends on, or should I have somebody with a jig for a 60 do this?

I destroyed my 9":D

You need a jig to do it properly. I have a RC60 housing with Big for ends welded on that would be 63" wide with axles. Had 66CJDean on this board retube the short side with a new section of .500x3 1/8" DOM to match the other side.

I built my 60 with the BB Torino style ends. The Ford motorsport 11" disk brake kit in a bolt on. Get them jigged on, the cost of custom alloys make it a necessary evil.
