I have a buddy that says that he's got a 9" sitting around from a 1986 f-150. I've been trying to do some research on it but haven't found much for that year. Are they big/small bearing? 28 or 31 spline? Anything that might keep me from getting it?

Correct it's going to be an 8.8 and it's full width. So you'd need a matching front axle to go with it and it's not considered that great of an axle.

They're 31 spline. The 9" was standard in Broncos and F150's up to '82 I believe when the 8.8 came out and after that it was still available as an option. My '81 F150 and '85 Bronco both have the 9" and my '84 F150 has an 8.8 in it.

I read that they were available up to 86. I guess i'll just have to go check it out to see if it really is a 9".
