Grits what specific years will fit ? do you have any pics?
I believe the years are 80-83. Just look for the F100 in the yards (as opposed to the F150). We initially thought they were scarce, but found they're not that hard to find. Think mine only cost $88 at the Pick-A-Part. They run anywhere from $200 to $400 in yards on the internet. I had heard about the F100's with the 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern, but didn't realize that they would be wide enough until Mustang Steve posted the info on his CV install (here's a link to his build pages on his website:
http://www.mustangsteve.com/f100restoration.html . I'm probably going to buy Mustang disk brake brackets from him and source the other parts as I go along to spread the cost out. The one I got has a 2.75 ratio, so that will need to be changed, but I can probably use the one that's in the crew currently. If not, 9" pumpkins are plentiful and reasonably priced. Since my truck is going to be a cruiser and not a "Stroker" hot rod I'm thinking the 28 spline axles will be fine.
Now if I win the lottery a Mummert Stroker Y-block or one of the "new" 427 Y-Blocks will probably be in the picture, but then I can do the Moser internals

Sorry, I don't have pics as my differential is still in Shreveport at Bluebolt's place (Brien). I'm still collecting parts for my crew.
