If you're going to wheel it, no question. You want a 44.
The full size 44 will work, but you will need to narrow it to match your rear end width. And there are a few modifications to be done so it will mount under your Bronco. You will need to narrow the F150 steering linkage or get tie rod spacers to use the Bronco linkage. And you will need to relocate the C bushing and track bar mounts. Be aware that some of the F150 44 housings of that time had the c-bushing mounts cast into the housing and can't be removed. Do some research before you decide. The advantages are that it will already have disc brakes and the high pinion diff design offers a strength advantage.
The Bronco 44 is pretty much a direct bolt in. Just slide the 30 out and bolt the 44 in its place. The 30 and 44 track bars are different. I ran the 30 track bar for several years with very minor rubbing on the diff cover. If you look around and can wait a bit, you can still find good deals on complete 44's.
