DSE Ford 9-Inch QuadraLink Housing - Torino Flange - Satin Black - 1967-1972 C10 / C15 - 071541DS
Give your 1967-1972 Chevrolet C10 or GMC C15 a purpose-built rear axle foundation with the Detroit Speed Ford 9-inch QuadraLink Housing. Part number 071541DS is engineered specifically to pair with the Detroit Speed QuadraLink rear suspension system, eliminating the need to start with a generic housing and fabricate the critical suspension mounting points yourself. Detroit Speed also widens the track width to allow the wheel and tire to be centered when using a 0-inch-offset wheel, helping performance truck builders achieve the proper wheel position while upgrading to a serious rear suspension and axle combination.
The 071541DS housing uses TIG-welded 3-inch axle tubes with .218-inch wall thickness and Torino-style axle ends. QuadraLink brackets are TIG welded directly to the housing, while an axle vent plus fill and drain plugs are included. The housing accepts either a Detroit Speed FN988 or conventional Ford 9-inch center section, giving builders additional flexibility when configuring the drivetrain. Torino housing ends accept 2.5-inch-offset rear brake packages from Baer or Wilwood. This version comes powdercoated satin black for a clean, durable finished appearance.
