I could take a pic of the 8.25" that is in my '87 D100, but I don't know what that would do for you. Actually that rear end in that truck was employed in carrying a 5th wheel trailer back and forth to the desert. How do I know that? The truck has absolutely no rust in the body or bed, the holes are still in the bed from the 5th wheel rack along with the RV plug mounted to the bed wall and all the rubber in the truck was baked out and replaced with new. And a 27 year old truck with 125,000 miles on the original 318 2-v is a little unusual. I am making a few changes to say the least, I will report later.
