Dan noted: "My measurements were obtained with a set of bathroom scales, so the two pound difference is well within the inaccuracies of my scales. The 35 pound difference between 9" Ford weights is attributable to the Tru-Trac differential, and seems to be a reasonable value for the additional weight of the Tru-Trac. These weights included the brake assemblies as well as the axles."
