Rear end spool removal

[Slacker809]

I was told that the 69 f100 I just bought had a locker in it. Both wheels turn ALL the time. Is that a locker or spool? I was told it wasn't welded up but I'm not sure? How can I check what I have and how can I change it to limited slip differential? Was told it was 4.10 bears and it definitely feels like it. Thanks for your help.

Drop out the gear carrier and take a look...

Check out my biuld thread starting at page 11. PowerTrax No Slip is about $500 but easy install in your existing diferential carrier.

Thanks I'm New to this and know nothing about lockers and spools. Can I just have it removed and run a open differential until I can get limited slip?

Just need to make sure they didn't weld or remove anything if they put a spool in there. If they did you'll be replacing stuff anyway. You can get a Traction Lock carrier from Currie Enterprises fror about $300. That's the replacement for the original Ford TracLoc limited slip.c There are cheaper versions elsewhere but I don't know how much I trust "cheap".

Thanks I think I have a guy going to trade me a open differential for mine.

I would gladly trade you a 75 dollar open rearend for a 600 dollar locker rearend

Price depends on the type of rearend
