Uh, I think those were equipped with the eight inch rears...they were based on Falcon running gear. An easy "differentiator" (pun intended!) is that IF the third member ('pumpkin') can be removed with a socket and extension (NO interference removing the 'bottom' nuts) it's an 8". IF the 'bottom' nuts have to be removed with a wrench (the pinion housing interferes) then it's a 9"
: i was digging around the yard the other day and thought id look and see what rearend a cab-over early 60's econoline van had....guess what...9"
