Full floating Ford 9"???

full floaters are used alot in circle track racing for safety reasons, if you do break an axle the wheel stays in place. I foyu can grab a housing for 75 then I'd say go for it. There are lots of gears and 3rd members and axles for 9" around
Is there some type of special hub assembly that I would have to run on it :?:
I am trying to put a price sheet together to have this thing ready to bolt into the Regal :idea:

here's a good description of it..the hub is nothing special
"This type of axle uses an axle shaft on each side that is simply splined at both ends and has a drive flange on the outer end. The splined end of the shaft slides into the internally splined steel drive plate that bolts to a hub, The axle shaft is allowed to float in the system. For a full-floater system, the axle shaft only serves to transmit the rotational torque from the differential out to the wheel. It does not carry the weight of the vehicle. On a full floater, a spindle is attached to the outer end of the axle housing. The hub rides on the spindle with tapered roller bearings. It is this assembly that carries the vehicle weight. As such, a full-floating axle system is considerably stronger. For those of you who carry heavy loads, this means your axle load capacity is greatly increased with a full-floater. If you do hard-core 'wheeling on big tires, a full-floater means that your axle shafts can also handle much more torque loading. Further advantages of a full-floater include being able to remove a broken axleshaft, yet still have the ability to keep a functional rolling tire on that corner of the vehicle. This can be done since the wheel actually bolts to the hub that rides on the spindle attached to the axle housing."

That's how I was thinking it was setup. Any sources or specific car applications that I get these parts from.
So its actually setup like the front wheel :?: With a hub style rotor on a spindle with the inner/outer wheel bearings :?:
Its the hub and brake setup that I am concerned with (price)

:shock:
WoW those kits are pricey 😱
I would probably be spending just as much as I would if I just bought a complete GBody 9" rear or more :?

don't get the new kits....dig around on racing junk and you should be able to find what you need used
damn now something else i have to think about, i was going with a 35 spline ford 9", i was looking around for prices on this, the ad in link didnt have a price...
found things like this though, but the price greatly exceeds what my budget was for this

says 800 for a complete 31 spline full floater, am i missing something
