Hello,

Does anyone know where to purchase a chrome 9" rear diff. cover. I've searched and searchedand all that really comes up is the 7.5" & 8.8".

Thank you!

Dean

Yeah sorry there's no crome covers because a 9 inch is a drop out 3rd member whereas the 7.5" and the 8.8" are integral-type housings.

I see, just used to the 8.8...but another quick question,

My rear end is leaking and it looks like it is leaking out of the rear cover - which obviously does not remove. Any suggestions? Thanks again!

Pull the third member, clean off the old gasket with a scraper, change the diff fluid then use black RTV and slap it back together

I've never seen an early bronco with a chrome rear diff. You certainly would stand out with all that bling bling. While you're at it you might want to look into a set of chrome shocks, 20" rims, and euro tail lights. ;)

I think you should check your rear pinion for the leak before pulling the third member.

Theres no diff cover on a 9" Just the housing it's self

True, but that doesn't mean no one makes a 9" differential cover.
