What Rear End is This?

[Chief]

Bought my Bucket a few months ago and she is going to get rear disks, but I want to be sure I get the right kit from the start. A couple of people have said it's a 9" Ford then another thinks a Chevy.

Help me be sure ........Thanks

Fords have a front drop out third member, so it doesn't look like a Ford 8" or 9" rearend. Could be Chevy or the smaller 7.5 Ford.

Check for numbers on housing.

10 bolt GM

Looks like a GM 10 bolt, 8.5 Look on top of the axle tube on the passenger side. There should be some stamped in numbers. I have forgotten all their significance, but you can google and gets lots of pictures, diagrams and dimensions.
More pictures would tell more. Looks like someone sub ed in some different axle ends. What bolt pattern is on your wheel? If disc are too difficult, you can consider larger drums.
good luck,
