Wanted Explorer 8.8 w/4.10 in/around NC

[fordwheelinman]

Looking for an explorer 8.8 with 4.10 gears. Would consider 3.73, but really looking for 4.10's. Prefer drum brakes as the vehicle I'm putting it in has drum brakes now. In or near NC.

Try car-part.com

Part to look for is "axle assy rear(w. housing)"
It will ask you what ratio on next page
I used 1995 Ford Explorer for search

see quite a few 4.10 from Explorers using NC zipcode(27016), earlier years would be less likely to have rear disc brakes
saw a 1996 limited slip 4.10 for $200 in Hamptonville, NC, listed

EDIT
Do the search using 1993 Explorer
1991-1994 had rear drums
1995 and up rear disc brakes, I thought they got them in 1998

Used this many times. Just thought I'd ask the members first and give my money to someone in the community, versus a salvage yard that thinks every nut, bolt, screw, and bird shit apec is worth top dollar.

I have some 8.8 gears if you’re interested.
