If you can get on the bottom bolts that hold the punkin' in with a ratchet extension, it's an 8-inch. If you have to use a box end wrench, it's a 9-inch.PLANET EARTH, INSANE ASYLUM FOR THE UNIVERSE.

There should be a tag that tell you what it is right on the rear. it tells the year ratio and size.

I checked the bolts and only a wrench would go on the bottom 2 bolts because the housing makes an incline shape there that wouldn't allow room for a socket/ratchet. Charlie,or anyone,can you interpret the tag please? WDM-BV4 7JC

Thank you Tech,,,,,you provide so much info.on here I started to say,Sir Richard, but I won't seeing how I don't know if you'd like
that or not,cause I don't want to get on your bad side.
But after viewing that link I still can't determine if the rear is an 'open' or 'limited' slip. Maybe all the truck rears are the big L? Anyone???
AAAAnnnd, although I was getting the F-100 ready for paint and selling it,now I'm tempted to put the 9" in the S10,which I bought to make a 1/4 drag truck.
And I really can't afford to have it narrowed,new axles,etc.,etc., the S10 has the despicable 7.5 rear. OH,OH, how do you get this racing stuff out of your blood?

The engine looks awesome, I like the low intake. That'll be some eye candy when the hood is popped.
