Welcome to Ron's Machining Service | Gaines, MI Give Ron a call he will hook you up with the parts you need.
No offense to the advice you are getting here, but maybe you should cross reference on a specialty forum?
Looks like to me, that possibly the rear-end was toasted by the extremely hard work of snowplowing? Don't know if the standard F150 was set up for that? I think you need been-there-done-that advice.
The differential carrier and its innards are the same between 3.55-3.73.
Yes! This is why my 95 F-150 still doesn't have a speck of rust on it, looks as good as it did the day I drove it out of the showroom, and has got me from home to work and back (24 miles round trip) every frikken day for the last 18 years, with nothing more than oil changes and a new set of tires or 3, or 4, don't remember.On a quiet night you can hear a Ford rust.
