    The only thing that is important is the 3.50. That is a 3.50 open rear. If the number was a 3L50 it would be a posi.

    The WCR in the first line means that it is a Ford 9" rear end, not Equalock (not locking)

    WCR-D means 3.50 ratio, 8 3/4" ring gear O.D., 2-pinion non-locking, small-size wheel bearing, medium-size differential bearing

    On the second line
    3.50 is the axle ratio 3.50:1
    4JD is the build date
    763 is the code for the plant where is was built

    Did this come out of an Econoline? If so, what year? I'm guessing an early 1965 or a special order 1964.

    Rear drums are easy, Here are some numbers to help, the front wheel cylinders are 1 1/8" and the rears are 1 3/16ths for brake bias.

    DRUMS ARE 10” X 2 ½” CENTRIC PART # 122.65007

    WHEEL CYLINDERS FOR REAR 134.68009 LEFT (1 3/16TH)
    134.68010 RIGHT

    Also, I just got in a batch of FINNED rear drums??????? They are supposed to come off of another Ford but have not tracked that info down yet. I also, have a few front finned drums also. Still going through them, most are blasted, painted and turned within good specs.
