    Can't figure out what type of rear end my Falcon gasser has. It's not an 8 or 9" Ford....it's looks close to an 8-3/4 Mopar, but still, pumpkins don't quite match, although there is some variations in 8-3/4's over the years.

    The lugs are standard 5X4.5 Ford/Dodge bolt pattern.

    Anyone recognize it?

    If I had to guess a variation of the -- Dana 8 3/4

    That's what I was thinking, but every pic of an 8-3/4 I found had the bolt holes for the snubber plate on top of the pinion yoke, and/or more, larger ribs on the pumpkin.

    Now, the straight axel on the front of the car came from a 50's-early-60's Dodge truck. Wondering if the same truck donated it's rear end.

    Could be - this picture says it is a 1950 Dodge truck rear - looks a bit more like yours.
