Here is the widths of the rear axles (flange to flange) The 64-65 Falcon had a 58" Width as did the 65-66 Mustangs, The HIPO 289 Mustangs were the only ones to have a factory 9" rearend installed and finding one of these is rare, I have one in my 64 Falcon from a HIPO Mustang but I've owned it for over 25 years now. The 1959 Full size Ford had a 57.25" width 9" rear axle which is the narrowest Factory 9" out there. The 77-81 Granada/Versailles, had 58" , 9" rearaxle w/ disk brakes. All these are rare to find anymore. Currie's has a Universal Hot Rod Ford 9" kit with a brand new 56" housing or they can custom make one. Here is a photo of my 65 Ford 9", 28 spline Traction-Lok 58" rear axle

57 to 59 full size ford. Large bearings with 28 spline axles. Bolts up fine. I moved my axle back 1 and a half inches by drilling the leafsprings. And drilled the leafsprings plates for 3inch ubolts.
