DSE Ford 9-Inch QuadraLink Housing - C6 Floater - Bare - 1967-1972 C10 / C15 - 073041DS
Build your 1967-1972 Chevrolet C10 or GMC C15 around a rear axle designed for serious handling, braking, and power with the Detroit Speed Ford 9-inch QuadraLink C6 Floater Housing. Part number 073041DS combines the strength and versatility of a Ford 9-inch housing with Detroit Speed's full-floater design and application-specific QuadraLink suspension mounting. The track width is widened to allow the wheel and tire to be centered when using a 0-inch-offset wheel, making this housing a purpose-built foundation for a high-performance street, Pro Touring, autocross, or track-focused truck.
Detroit Speed builds the 073041DS with TIG-welded 3-inch axle tubes featuring .218-inch wall thickness and TIG-welded QuadraLink brackets to save fabrication time when installing the Detroit Speed QuadraLink rear suspension. The C6 full-floater configuration allows ABS use and accepts factory C6 rear brakes as well as compatible Baer and Wilwood aftermarket brake packages. The housing also supports either a Detroit Speed FN988 or conventional Ford 9-inch center section. An axle vent plus fill and drain plugs are included, while the bare finish gives you the freedom to choose the final coating for your truck.
