Maybe Number Dummy can clue us all in to how long Ford used the 9" diff. I know almost all trucks 1/2 ton F150's and F100's had them up until the early 80's I just don't have exact dates.

The 9" was used until either 86 or 87. The 8.8" started showing up in 83.

1957/83 F100 / 1957/79 Misc. FoMoCo Passenger Cars / 1965/67 E100 (WEV axle only) / 1966/86 Bronco / 1969/74 E100/200 / 1975/86 F150 / 1975/87 E100/150 / 1980 Granada/Monarch Lincoln Versailles w/rear disc brakes.

8.8 introduced 1983. Thru 1986/87, it all depends on the application whether the E/F100/150 & Bronco (U150) has one or the other.
