Default Need help with ford 9" conversion

In a couple of months I am putting a ford 9" under my truck with a four link suspension. The help I need is there any company that sells 9" rear axles with a 6 x 5.5 bolt pattern. Have looked and all I can find is guys talking about welding the old holes and drilling new ones. I don't want to jerry rig my rear end so was wondering if you guys knew of anyone that sold them. Thanks for your help in advance.

I'm just curious. Why no 14 bolt like a lot use?
Or Dana60. You're obviously creatin power beyond what u fell a built 10 built can handle. Whata we talkin here?

I know Moser came out w/. a new rear for our trucks. Muscle Pak or Pack, I think it's called. I sure thought it was a 9", but just a quick look didn't see our trucks on there. If I spent some more time on their site, it'll show up.

Turning the truck into a project. Buying a new truck end of this month and going to park the one I have now and build a daily driver/racer. Going to be between 700 and 800 horsepower. Never dealt with the 14 bolts, have had a lot of experience with the nine inch. Seen them take a lot abuse and keep going. That is one thing Ford did right, built a rear end to handle the power they couldn't make. Just never put one in a Chevy truck 6 lug. I want to keep the 6 lug pattern to match the front.

Me neither, & I spent some time lookin too.
I thought it'd be under news, or new products, but I know I read it somewhere. 1 of the car mags maybe? This bugs me. Magazines typically trail by a 1 1/2-3 month leadtime. I thought for sure, it'd be on their site.

I know, was just hoping someone knew of a company I could just order off website and be done. Hate trying to custom order things, most times it never turns out good.

Nope. You usually have to fill out a custom order sheet and sign it before they will make them.

Just call them up. A lot of places still do the the old fashioned way.
