It trickled around for a few years after 82-83.It never really had an exact end date.Some trucks had 9's,others had 8.8's.They did that til they ran out of 9's.

9" = 1957/86 / / 8.8" = 1983 to date.

Some 1983 F100's, 1983/86: F150's, Bronco's and E100/150's had 9's, some had 8.8's.

It all depended on the application.
