When I changed the fluid awhile back, I bought an 8.8" gasket and the bolts matched up. Leaked terribly (ended up redoing it with The Right Stuff instead), but the bolts matched, confirming it is an 8.8.My BII had a plastic diff cover, FYI, so I don't think that being plastic makes it an 8.8 for sure.
Edit: grabbed the owner's manual, it shows 3.08 gears with 4.0 and standard cab if I'm reading it right.
Can't believe Ford would go to the trouble of making two different drum brake sizes, all that would seem to accomplish would be to make the supply chain more complicated. Who knows......
Mine is definitely RABS, listed on the window sticker
My 1995 3.0 I had before had a 7.5 in it... metal cover. So does the 8.8 in my 1984 F150.
