    Welcome to CHR. It somewhat depends on what you are using the truck for. If you are putting in some big power, sticky tires, and plan on doing some racing a 9" Ford is the rear end most generally used. If it is just a cruiser, and 8" Ford would do fine. Chances are an 8" from a Maverick would be very close to the correct width.
