ID this rear... with rocket wheels.

[kelseydum]

I found this at the salvage yard. Haven't asked a price yet, but needed an identification. Looks like a nine inch to me, but it's sitting by a bunch of old MG race cars. Did MG make a rear similar to the nine inch? Also, are the Rocket Racing Wheels worth anything?

It is an 8 inch Ford.
Rocket wheels is still around I think. That one looks like early 70's though.

8 inch Ford.

I agree

Wouldn't an 8 inch ford have a filler plug in the back?

Not all of them. Here's the 8 inch I pulled out of my coupe when I installed the quick change.

I have Rocket wheels on the front of my truck. $5 each at a swap meet and put Cragar caps on them. They were an imitation Cragar. There is a "new" Rocket Wheel Company but I don't think they are making that style any more.

Those BFG slicks are cool too!
