I am interested in putting a 9" rear axle in my '65 Coupe and know nothing about the swap. My local wrecking yard has a surplus of them and I do not know which to choose. Does anyone have recommendations of what to look for? Do I just measure the length for something that will fit? Will I be stuck getting a wider one that will need to be narrowed? The yard has them all labeled as to what kind of car the came out of- is there any specific year/car that will make for an easy swap?

Any thoughts/concerns/input is greatly appreciated.

other than the rare 64-66 hipo 9 inch and the old 57-59 9 inch, you have better chance to find the rare 80 granada 9 inch with the drum brakes or the versi 9 inch with disc. I have the granada housing and had to buy it from currie but a friend of mine went to the junk yard on a half off day and found the first 80 granada with a perfect 9 inch and got it for $45 drum to drum. good luck.
