I'd guess a 9" offhand. Does it have a removable carrier - bolted on from the front of the axle housing?(9") Or, does it have an access panel that bolts on the rear of the housing? (8.8)

If you're wondering about gear ratio you have, there should be a metal tag under one of the mounting nuts - usually first three numbers on the bottom line of the tag.

It should have a Ford 8.8 with 3.55 gearing.
