Thanks, Robert. I keep trying to get those pictures better, LOL.
I have a T19 and I think the rear end is 3.25. I'm still not perfect on the "mark the tire & spin it around" process and I haven't pulled the cover off to count the teeth.
LOL, was at the ford dealer the other day to pick up some parts for my boss & one of the salesmen was trying to sell me a new f150 that gets 20. Told him what I was getting & he wanted to buy her. I just love it!

1966 F100 with a 9" and a 3.25-1 axle ratio: The axle code on the Warranty Plate is 17.
There's another tag on the rear axle carrier at 5 o'clock. It has the actual ratio on it.
There's no cover on a 9" rear axle, only the Spicers have a cover, and if a Spicer 44, it has Limited Slip. There's no 3.25-1 ratio on a Spicer 44, the closest to that is: 3.31-1.
The only way a new F150 gets 20 MPG is when driving it downhill...my 2004 never got better than 18, and that was on the flats at less than 60 MPH.
City mileage was 10-12...closer to 10 since I live in the hills.
btw: LOL....another fastidious Virgo...I have you beat by 4 and 7.

Hey ND,
Always good to meet another Virgo. As usual, you are correct in your info. I do have a 9 inch and not only is there no cover, but there are no tags on the beast either.
I was running 60-65 on my trip so I'm even happier with my 22mpg...
