I am getting ready to hit the u-pull it salvage yard this weekend and was wondering if Ford ever used a 4.30 geared 9" rearend in a regular production vehicle (not a drag pac rarity)? Basically, do I have a chance in hell of finding a third member with this gearing?

Off hand I do think there was a option in some years but I'd say its going to be pretty rare. 4.10 or 4.56 will be way more common even then all I ever seem to find is 3.50 or higher.
So i really wouldnt count on finding a factory unit but it always pays to check the gearing as you never know what someone could have installed.

Thanks guys! In my research I have found references to some trucks and vans with the 4.30 ratio but nothing definitive yet. That list is very helpful Viperwolf. 4.30's for the front were easy and cheap since Isuzu sold a bundle of dana 44's with thick gear 4.30's but the rear may prove more difficult to find used.

That ratio is pretty common in the 90's Toyota pickups if you don't mind running a Toyota 8" axle.
