Hey guys, I could use some help identifying this axle. It was used as a trailer, and the WMS is approx 61-63. It is a pretty old axle, over 20 yrs. It has 30 spline shafts Here is a link to the pics

It sure looks like a Ford 9" to me.

Im pretty sure it is not a 9". I posted a pic on the link above of a 9".

What is a chrysler 8 3/4 axle? Used in cars and trucks. They used it for about 30 years I think? From 1955 to about 1974.

are they good for anything?

i thought the 8.75 had an octagon shaped diff cover, not a drop out third.





could be a furd 9" or a model 20 jeep/dodge rear end. wms is right for an old waggy or cj.

looks just like an 8.75 to me

good enough.


mabey im thinking of the 8.25.

It sure looks like a Ford 9" to me.


the pinion is to long for a 9, unless there is a 9 out there with such a long pinion i dunno bout, even the bolt pattern is different

Interesting Deano...Pretty sure it's not a 9" if it's 30 spline, and it doesn't have the intention for the pinion on the rear, like you mentioned. Hmmm...Anyone else know for sure what it is? Chryco 8.75 for sure?

That is the 9.25 with the stop sign cover :rolleyes:

I think its out of an old Chevrolet (like a 55-57).

can I use it for anything? How about strength issues, I think it might be capable of 35 spline shafts, but im not certain
