you can pull a 9 inch out of any ford fullsize truck of that era and it will bolt right up, no electronic speed sensor for you, its a gear driven speedo cable in the T-Case

Sorry for da delay in responding here; my PC was whacked by the IE attack.

here is a good article on a 9" swap into an 89 Bronco by Dustin S

See page 2, #24. The original driveshaft is now too short. This is past maximum extension, at rest.

GL!

Price the 9" at local yards; may be too much $$$; some buy Broncos & F seres just for these 9' diffs for their street/weekend drag (AND pro drag) runners. You may find a Bronco 8.8 much more affordable at the yards.

if you find a bronco with a 9 inch you can use that driveshaft
