Differential info
Hi , I have a 1967 Ford pickup . My son recently screwed up
the spider gears in the rear end . He brought home a complete
rear end that he cut out of a 1975 model ( I think ) . I'm trying
to get some info on it before I take it apart as I'm planning on
getting a locker and rebuilding my old one sometime soon so I'm
trying to see if want to put it in my truck or just wait until I get the
old one rebuilt . Does anyone know how to read the tag or maybe a
website that shows how to read it ? It reads like this as best as I can
tell . WDM CJ 8LB 75 9 356A . I'd appreciate any help with this .
Thanks again ,
Bill

Welcome to (FTE)! Bill
The 75 housing will be wider, also if the 75 was from an Inline 6 or small block
it should be 28 spline, if it is 2wd, this has been my finding in the past! The
hogs head should work.

To answer your question :
from the looks of your info that is a 2.75 rear .
I don't know of any other axle ratio that ends in 75.
It should have read
WDM - CJ 8L8
2.75 9 356A
scroll to the bottom for axle Id tag info.

also on the right side axle tube close to the center chunk facing the rear the ratio is stamped into the tube.
