Ed, the reason I'm asking is because someone told me that Ford offer 4.30 gears as a production option on either a truck or van. I need to know what year and which one if they did. I'm putting 4.30 gears in my 96 Cobra and anything over 4.10 you have to grind the axle pin so it will slide past the thicker 4.30 ring gear. If Ford put 4.30 gears in a 8.8 then the pin for that setup would have alrady been factory machined so it would slide in with no problem. I would like to order this special pin instead of grinding mine. Maybe I got some bogus info from this guy. I do remember seeing a new van on a dealers lot years ago and if I'm not mistaken it had a 460 engine and 4.30 gears...it might have been a 3/4 ton though which would be a differant rear axle(10.5 I think) Thanks Jeff
