Gaskets, Pads, Seals – Classic Ford Brakes and Suspension (1932–1979)

Proper sealing is critical to maintaining lubrication and preventing leaks on classic Ford cars and trucks from 1932–1979. This category includes classic Ford reproduction axle gaskets, differential housing gaskets, pinion seals, backing plate gaskets, and related pads and retainers used throughout the system.

These components seal mating surfaces between the differential housing, axle housings, backing plates, bearing retainers, and torque tube connections. Fitment can vary by model year, body style, axle design, and banjo or torque tube configuration. Early Ford applications may use different gasket thicknesses or shim arrangements that affect bearing preload and axle alignment. During restoration, worn seals or improperly matched gaskets can lead to fluid seepage, contamination, or inconsistent bearing support. Correct differential housing gaskets and pinion seals help preserve lubrication and maintain factory-correct assembly.

Since 1978, C&G Ford Parts has remained a second-generation, family-run business focused exclusively on classic Ford restoration parts. Experienced staff are available to help confirm correct fitment when details matter.
