But a gym rack is what gave me the idea.

I ended up sort of digging an irrigation ditch with this 400 pound non rolling trailer..oops.

Ok, I bought the 9 inch today. Dang it this thing is huge and heavy. Not sure what year it is, 58 or 59 Hoping Bill can help me decipher the tag, hint hint ...
First line: WBG - F2
Second line: 3.89 4EC 301
Now new questions, what should I do in terms of rebuilding it or leave it alone? I know the brakes need to be done, any thing else thats a must do?
Other good news, the gentleman I bought it from is restoring a 57 F100 with a big back window. He was looking for a source for the window and other info. Of course I pointed him here.
Hopefully Bob will show up soon, nice guy.

Does the NL indicate Nodular ?
From what I have read and understood, a limited slip unit is indicated
with an L in the ratio designation, correct? eg. 3L.89
I am looking for something in Austin as I have a Dana 44 w/ 4.09....probably fine for the 223 6L but my OD is missing from the 3spd and so I would like to up it a bit...maybe 3.89. 60 MPH is almost redline (or so it feels!).

The 4EC Should be the date code, sometime in 64, 301 is mostlikely the plant code.
Oh the 2 after the F as in WBG-F2 is a revision, could be something as simple as changing the length of a bolt.
There are thousands of the codes for Ford 8.8, 9 what ever rear assemblies. The you get to wade thru the Dana Numbers, and this is just for the cars, Vans and F-100/150's
