Stupid question here; Did Ford ever make an eight inch rear axle with only 4 wheel studs?? I thought they were all 5 lug patterns?? Just curious because a guy has one for sale and it doesn't sound right to me. Anybody know??
Thanks Steve

Sorry guys, just did a search and found the answer.
Buy it. They exist but are hard to find. Kenny has one.
BTW - I have an 8" center section with 3.0 gears that will be available soon.

Yeah...I got lucky and stumbled across one in a 1970 Maverick at the Pull-A-Part in Lynnwood for really cheap ($40??). Here's the details from my web site:

Cool thanks guys. I think I just traded the guy my 1960 front fenders for it?? I'll get it home and clean it up and powder coat it and probably sell it??
Roger?? Need an 8 inch 4 lug for that Ranchero?????
Kenny is your c-4 a 5 bolt or a 6 ??. and will a v8 bellhousing fit a early 5 bolt 6cyl... I have a 5 bolt that needs a new home... and if patrick reads this how much for the 8" you have...mine is starting to scream...G I wonder Y...thanks john h
I asume it's open and not a posi ..sold, and I'am not in a rush, what are you going to do ? 9" comes to mind. just let me know. thanks jh
It is an open 3:1 is good shape. There is a small leak at the pinion seal. It wasn't critical enough for be to do anything about.
I have a newly rebuilt 3.4:1 8" Trac-Lock. I might pull the rear end tomorrow.

Hmmmm...I guess I'm not really sure. Does that refer to the bolts that attach the bellhousing to the case? I don't recall and the bellhousing that came with the tranny fit my block so I never really did any research on the different versions.
Here some pics if you can tell from them:

The five bolt V8 C4 bellhousing is rare and would probably be worth quite a bit on eBay. They were only available for one year, maybe two, if I recall.
