At Trick Chassis, we’re always excited to see our products in action, helping enthusiasts and builders achieve their dream builds. Today, we’re spotlighting YouTube user ScareCrowJoe, who shares our passion for building and learning together. Joe’s latest project involves a meticulous upgrade to his ’66 Chevelle, featuring a Ford 9-inch rear end from Trick Chassis.
About Joe and His Build Philosophy
Joe operates under the moniker “ScareCrowJoe” on YouTube, where he documents his car building adventures alongside his dad.

Video Recap: Installing Trick Chassis’s Ford 9-Inch Rear End
In his recent upload, Joe takes us through the installation of a Ford 9-inch rear end from Trick Chassis, a key component he picked up directly from our location in Wisconsin—saving on shipping costs. This rear end is not just any part; it’s a testament to forward-thinking and quality engineering. Here’s what Joe liked about our product:
- Customizable Options: Joe opted for a back brace on the rear end assembly, considering future upgrades that might require additional strength. Although his current build isn’t pushing extreme horsepower, he’s set on being prepared for any upgrades.
- Adjustable Link Bars: A standout feature is the adjustable link bars that come with the rear end. This addition allows precise adjustments to the suspension geometry, essential for achieving the perfect ride quality and handling.
- Quality and Durability: Joe praises the heavy-duty construction of the components, noting that even though he chose standard options like 31 spline axles and Yukon 373 gears, the setup is built to last and handle significant stress.
Highlighting Trick Chassis’s Offerings
This particular rear end setup exemplifies the type of quality and attention to detail that Trick Chassis is known for. It includes:
- A raw housing that allows for custom finishing
- Polyurethane bushings for enhanced ride quality
- The flexibility to switch to solid mounts if desired
- Rear disc brakes for reliable stopping power
Joe’s project is a great example of how our parts can be integrated into a personal build, enhancing both performance and enjoyment. His detailed walkthrough not only serves as a guide for others considering similar upgrades but also demonstrates the robustness and adaptability of Trick Chassis components.
