65-66 OEM 9-inch U-joint bolts
« on: January 29, 2012, 03:54:12 PM »
The bolts pictured are Ford service parts for the 9-inch rear end. Did OEM bolts have the raised pad at the rear or were they smooth?

Thanks,
Dave

Originals I have seen have some type of circular pattern at the top.  Usually does not stick up though.

The bottom one in your pic looks pretty close.

Thanks, both bolts are identical, I think the circular pad is just a little more pronounced in the top one because of the lighting...
