which rear for '87 FSB
Hey guys,
The pinion bearings let go in my '87 302/aod and have messed up the rear diff pretty badly. I'd rather just change out the whole rear end as a unit. I plan on hitting the local pull yards this weekend, what other donors can I look for besides another FSB that will be a straight swap?

any 9" from a FSB or F150 will work as well as an 8.8. Pay attention to the driveshafts though because there are some flange variations, even on the 8.8 from 89 to 90. Also pay attention to the gear ratio based on what your front axle is.
