Help please Rear end ID

Thanks, I am trying to id the rear end in my hot rod/roadster. Here is what I know or assume. 9 inch, 6 and 7 o'clock studs not accessible with straight on socket, 5 on 5 1/2 lug nut pattern- assume Ford pu, inside backing plate to inside backing plate approx 55 inches, 28 spline axle that are of the same length-30 1/16 inch, closed bearing approx 3.13 inch diameter and .85 in thickness, 1 1/8 inch brake shoe across surface, brake drum 2 1/2 inch total width, 2.86 inch center hole of brake drum, backing plate mounting holes are 3 1/2 inches horizontally and 2.35 inches vertically. All measurements are close approx. due to cheap calipers and trifocal lenses. Trying to id so that I can get the right parts for overhaul. Also make it easier for parts guy
to look up parts. Any help is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.

Sounds like a 9inch, except for the 1-1/8 inch brake shoes, 28 spline axels would be an early rear end, got any pic's?

I remeasured and brake shoe surface is 1 3/4 inches. I already know its a 9 inch Ford P/U. Was trying to closer narrow down year to make it easier to get parts. Also since redrilling lug pattern seems to be not an option, are there any axles that would be a direct interchange?
