Well if you are a running a stock axle...best bet would be to let us know if it is a 7.5 or 8.8 housing.

Ah no worries: you can check the door jamb sticker for the axle code and post that or you can check out the bolts on the diff cover, there should be a metal tag on one of them with the info that will have a # showing 7.5 or 8.8 on it.

The easy visual way to tell, is your diff cover a circle, or a circle with a flat top and bottom?

Alright so you have a 7.5

You can find them brand new on ebay for $25 shipped or so. Just search Ford 7.5 Differential cover. also cruise craigslist or if you have a local junkyard check there, might be able to get one cheaper.

If you are still looking for a cover I have a new chrome one for the 7.5 I will sell you for cheap to include a new gasket too. Let me know.
