Wanted to hear some thoughts on widening a ford 9inch, kinda serious kinda just a thought exercise. I have a handful of truck housings laying around to try this with so id be out nothing but time if it didn't work.
My thought was take housing "A" and cut it somewhere on the tubes. Take housing "B" and do the same thing only moving the cuts inboard 2" to 3". Taking the tubes from housing "B" and welding them onto housing "A". Of course using a alignment bar through the carrier with machined "pucks?" where the axle bearings would be to keep it all straight. Then continuing on with the standard back truss.
I don't see any reason it wouldn't work, and I have hour lunches with all the freedom to work on personal projects.
Reason for all this is i didn't consider the rear axle width when I built my super sick prerunner bro 4.5 over beams
