FORD 8.8-INCH
The 8.8-inch
debuted in 1983 Broncos and F-150s, and is now found also in 4.0-liter Rangers and Explorers/Navajos. It is easily distinguished from a 9-inch by having a cover on the back.
FORD 9-INCH
The venerable Ford 9-inch is both readily available and strong. Later models have bigger axle tubes and stronger housings. It was standard under 1966-88 F-150s and Broncos. It also came on many vans and the Lincoln Versailles (a popular axle for swapping because of the Lincoln version's disc brakes with parking brake).
