School me on Ford 9"'s

[Jonesy]

Looking at maybe swapping a 9" into my toyota truggy. I know almost nothing about these axles though. What do I need to look for? I know the aftermarket is huge for them, and parts are relatively cheap.

I have been running a 9" from a bronco in my Sammy for about 8 years now. it has been cut to have the offset on pass side and I added a 33 spline axles, a full spool and a homemade disk brake setup. it has been trouble free all this time so no complaints on its service to me.
pros
extensive amount of parts and gear choices
pinion guards are offered for it like the 14 b
cons
wont have the clearance the Toyota diff has
its a ford(humpy)

theres a bigger list just the first couple could come up with

[humpy]

It comes out of a ford ... It. Has. 9" ring gear I think...,







That's all I got
