What year did Ford stop putting the 9" rear in the Bronco?

My buddy has an 86 with a 9" and 4.10s. But he isn't the original owner so there is no way to tell if that's what it came with from Ford or not.

Some time in the early 80's. At least for a while I think if you got a 351 engine you got a 9", and with a I-6 or 302 you got an 8.8".

- If you can't go through it or around it, then go over it.

Are you trying to identify the axle? A 9" has no rear cover--no bolts when viewed from the rear. An 8.8 has a rear cover--bolts.

I've never doubted you Allan, but I've seen them in '85s, and I know it was factory well checked the numbers. Maybe it was an option...?

Ya, seen them in 86's with 351's up here as well. Like everything Ford did, there was probably a few crossover years/models.
