I'm trying to put wider brakes on my 63 F100, I have 1969 backing plates and drums but I didn't grab the axles
The bearing offset on my 63 axle is 2", clearly this isn't going to work.

Anyone have info on the axle bearing offset on 68-72 F100 rear axle shaft?

Re: 9" axle bearing offset
I found what I was looking for online.
I was referring to the distance between the wheel mounting surface on the axle and the outer edge of the axle bearing.

Re: 9" axle bearing offset
Both axles are 28 spline, 30" from wheel mount surface to spline tip. Here's the difference in the bearing offset...1963 is about 1-7/8"
1968-1972 bearing offset is about 2-3/16"
1968-1972 bearing offset is about 2-3/16"
