Ford 8 inch rearend swap

J Glenn said

I was looking at my ford 8 last night and the driveshaft will be straight with the center-line when installed. It's the differential that is off-set (meaning the axels are different lengths.) As seen here ( https://arthurrothsteinarchive.com/...-size-ford-9-inch-rear-end-identification.jpg )

Kinda weird.

Then that means that the Ford that it came out from under has the same basic spring perch and wheel house measurements as the car you're putting it under. If the cars are about the same size, that's understandable........and that means it's a direct fit. What did it come out of?
