Overall Assessment

Customers appreciate the product for its fitting accuracy, aesthetics, and simplicity in installation. Slight sizing adjustments might be necessary, but overall, it's deemed a perfect fit for specific vehicles like a '76 F100 truck with a Ford 9" rear. The product comes with effective adhesive and useful installation instructions, although users recommend adequate drying time for epoxy and possibly installing outside the vehicle for ease. This well-constructed product comes highly recommended over its competition.

Nice product. There were a few sizing adjustments that had to be made with a grinder but nothing serious. Fits well and looks well.

Good fit, easy install.

Used this item for my 76' F100 truck w/Ford 9" rear. Perfect fit, and relatively easy to install (plenty of room under the truck, could be more fiddly in vehicle with less space available). Used a couple of straps to hold it in place to let the adhesive cure. Helpful tip regarding the adhesive in the installation instructions!

Would Recommend

Fit like a glove.

Easier if done out of the vehicle. Leave plenty of drying time for epoxy.

So I have a 68 Ford Mustang with a 9 inch Posi rear end... not sure what year it is but it does have the buldge for the ring gear.... I am wondering about compatibility and if it is compatible how is the fill plug dealt with?
