From my understanding, the Ford 9" 28 spline is the same as the Monty 28 spline rear. So technically a Ford mini spool or possibly lunch box locker would work ?
My main concern that I have yet to find an answer to, is the cross shaft dia. For has a 3/4" shaft. Is that the same as the Monty ?
And if this is all true why can't I find any info on anyone doing this.

One would truly have to look into this but if I recall the overall dimensions of the unit and ring gear mounting are not easily compatible. Look around for a MM rear LSD, I have not looked in a few years but there were some on Car part. Once you do the plate restacking they grip quite well.

I was not talking about the whole diff unit, just replacing the insides with a mini spool or possibly a Trak Lok lunch box type locker. VS just welding it shut, I'd rather not do on the smaller 9 inch 28 spline unit. Now if I had the bigger 9.5 inch 31 spline I'd just weld the sucker.
But I've seen Dana 44s welded with 31s and had no issues with limited street use. Montero 9 inch 28 spline from what I'm told-read and heard is as strong or stronger than a 44.

I was talking about the differential unit which one bolts the ring gear to. Not the whole drop out. If you had a 9.5" why not just add a compressor for the air locker?
