My neighbor has one he decided not to use - helped him pull it. It's from an early 80's (I think), same width, shock mounts etc as 73-79. 31 spline shafts, with one odd difference - bolt pattern is 5x4.5 not 5x5.5. Some weird F100 thing. First one of those I've seen on a full-size. I think carrier is 2.75. I think he wants around $150 for it. Hasn't actively tried to sell it, just offered it to me. I've got enough spares at the moment. He was going to use it under an S10 but has decided to go disc 8.8 from Explorer instead. Located in OKC.

I have a complete 9" axle assembly & a housing in NY if you're still looking for one, both are out of 1979 F150's.

Some 1980/83 F100's have 5 lug wheels on a 4.50" bolt circle, some have 5 lug wheels on a 5.50" bolt circle.

Then that would be what this is. I vaguely remember the truck, seems like it was a 6 cyl with few options. Neither of us noticed the bolt pattern until some months later. Definitely suprised me, neighbor not a Ford guy so he was indifferent - it was headed for a Chevy anyway. Thanks ND for the info.
