In the process of rodding my 1946 ½ ton I removed the torque tube & rear axle. I am leaning toward a f**d 9” and was wondering about width. The current axle measures about 60 ½”, brake drum mounting flange to flange. Do I want to match that width, or go narrower or wider? I have lowered rear leaf springs in back and I am planning on using a stock sized box. I haven’t decided on stock or 2” wider rear fenders (probably stock,) with a larger tire/wheel in the 17” to 19” range. I know this in a relatively common swap and was wondering what you guys did. Thanks in advance.
