They also lack a torque arm bracket, so there is nowhere to mount the torque arm. 12-22-2009, 06:17 AMTECH Resident iTrader: (4)

I have heard they are only about 1-2" difference in length vs the F-body 10-bolt...but still no torque arm mount. 12-28-2009, 12:19 PMTECH Resident iTrader: (1)

You could get the 8.5" in a non ZR2 package, but you are correct about the mounts/brackets. Ironic my 175hp truck came with the 8.5", but my 350hp car comes with the 7.625" rear. 75, 85, arm, bracket, camaro, chevy, difference, end, gears, interchangeable, length, rear, s10, torque, width
How do you tell if you have a 7.5 or 8.5 rear end?The 8.5 rearend will have a round cover, and part of the cover will extend rearward to make room for the ring gear. You will also notice the large, flat, cast-in protrusions at the five and seven o'clock positions. These protrusions are larger than those on the 7.5 rearend.
What vehicles have a Ford 8.8 rear end?Common Applications. 1986-2014 Ford Mustang.. 1982-2012 Ford F-150.. 1982-1996 Ford Bronco.. 2001-2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac.. 1991-2011 Ford Ranger 4.0L models.. 1991-2001 Ford Explorer (Solid axle). 1985-2011 Ford Panther platform vehicles.. 2012–Present Ford F-150 (Super 8.8, depending on engine and other options). How wide is a GM 10 bolt rear end?The 10-bolt differential cover is located on the rear of the axle and is an 11-inch x 10.25-inch oval.
