If I remember right, there are not any setups to make that rear end a posi setup, and I think they were 4.27:1 ? Should be a Dana 41 I believe.

Pre 1973 F-150 has the ford 9" that apparently is almost a bolt in swap.
And 57-67 F100 9" rear end is a direct bolt in.

grab a tape ruler and look at some late model explorers with the 8.8 diff.

they have limited slip, 3.73 gears and disc brakes standard, and are a very close to bolt in.
