Thread: Wanted: 8 inch Ford Traction Loc and Gears

Tweet

Looking for an 8 inch Ford, limited slip device, either factory Traction Loc or aftermarket. Also either 3.70 or 3.80 ring and pinion.

email me at p.dilling@comcast.net

Thanks

Pat

does width matter?
I have access to a low mile one, 3.73 trac loc w/ disc brakes - $850, but shipping will hurt as i am in PA. It is from an exploder, so the i think the width is 59".
i want it but have not the $$ right now, and it may not be there next tax time when i need it.

Thanks Screamer. The 8 inch I have now is only 56 inches wide, from a Maverick. I don't want to have to change wheels to make it fit. Those Explorer axles are a great deal if they fit your application.

yeah, forgot to mention bolt pattern - it probably veries too. the explorer are 4.5x5, the same as jeep wranglers, and w/i 1 inche in width, hence hteir popularity.

did read about the possible need to weld the tubes into the pumpkiin housing though - only held there with 3 'pins' and with some effort (rock crawling, racing, etc) can be rotated to bad ends.
