what rear was stock on the 1992 ford f150 supercab with a 302 v8 ?
i want to spool my rear but i am not sure if its the ford 8.8 or 9.
any help would be appreciated

 

I believe there should be a stamp or casting number on the axle housing that tells you the size.

 

should be 8.8 rear 31 spline. the 8.8 has a cover over the rear, the 9 dosnt, it has bolts in the front. (driveshaft side). none on the rear.

 

thank you

 

bringing this back up, anyone know where i can find a cheap spool for the 8.8? all i come to find is ford 9" ..

 

not sure if this is cheap...

any comments ?

 

mini spool will get torn up doing any heavy wheeling, just get a full spool.

Why do you want one anyway? They're miserable on the street. If it has a trac-lok carrier, just rebuild it and double up the clutch packs.

 

You will have a hard time finding a full spool without using c-clip eliminator kits. The axles from the factory are held in with the c-clips and the side gears and center shaft in the diff. The spool will tear up tires, axles and drivelines if used on the street. Rebuilding the trac-lok if equipped if not go with either an Detroit locker or like an Arb air locker.
