I had an 8 inch that cmae in my 72 that was equipped with 9" drum brakes with four lugs. Yes it was a non-intergral carrier.
: It's a 2.79:1 gear ratio. If it's got 4-lugs, it's a 7.5-inch carrier type diff. If it has 5-lugs, it's an 8-inch removable carrier type. BTW--the 8-inch Ford rearend, although not as strong as a 9-inch, is actually stronger than a GM 10-bolt. And the 9-inch is stronger than the GM 12-bolt...
