Sure Gerry.
What's that 53 Ford rear you're working on? A spicer?
Wonder if it's the same as the 1/2 tons.

If you can put a socket on the bottom 2 bolts, it's a 9". if you have to use a wrench to remove the bottom 2 bolts, it's a 8"


If the axel has 3 holes in the center hub it's a 31 spline, 2 holes, it's a 28 spline


Ultimate rear is a 9" with 31 spline, and a detroit locker......
