look at the bottom bolt, if you can get a socket on it straight on it's an 8 inch, if it's tucked up undert the housing so you would need a flex socket it's a 9 inch

I'll venture a guess that it is an 8" rear end. What do I have to lose, it's a 50/50 thing.

This page will tell you everything you need to know to figure it out.

We should put a link up to this somewhere...
