DSE Ford 9-Inch QuadraLink Housing - C6 Floater - Satin Black - (1967 - 1972 C10 / C15) - 073541DS
Give your 1967 - 1972 Chevrolet C10 or GMC C15 a serious rear axle foundation with the Detroit Speed Ford 9-inch QuadraLink C6 Floater Housing. Part number 073541DS is engineered to pair with the Detroit Speed QuadraLink rear suspension system, combining the proven Ford 9-inch architecture with C6 full-floater ends and application-specific suspension mounting. Detroit Speed widens the track width to allow the wheel and tire to be centered when using a 0-inch-offset wheel, making this housing a purpose-built solution that saves fabrication time when upgrading your classic GM truck.
Detroit Speed constructs the 073541DS with TIG-welded 3-inch axle tubes featuring .218-inch wall thickness and TIG-welded QuadraLink brackets. The C6 full-floater configuration allows the use of ABS and accepts factory C6 rear brakes as well as compatible aftermarket brake packages from Baer or Wilwood. Carrier compatibility includes both a conventional Ford 9-inch center section and Detroit Speed's FN988, giving builders additional flexibility when configuring the drivetrain. An axle vent plus fill and drain plugs are included, and the housing arrives powdercoated satin black for a durable, finished appearance.
