    Those were called 7 inch rear differentals. Common in 6 cylinder Mustangs and Falcons. They also were available in 7 1/4" ring gears. They used the same cover. In Econolines the 7's were used behind 144's and the 7 1/4's were behind 170's. Ford offered the nine inch rears in Heavy Duty and 240 Econolines so it's a bolt in swap. It can be hard to find parts for the small rear axle but they are available. Many just upgrade to the 9".
