Mine is not so greasy, check close at pinion seal area.

Yeah, I know …. could use a cleaning & wax, huh? :D
Mine also has a different cover look, but same number of bolts and internal parts same. Not sure why Ford changed cover shape though. To find mine here, I looked at a '79 Pinto at Rock Auto.
To find your gasket, I looked up a '75 model Pinto. I think Ford used them both as they came off the train maybe. You have Ford 9" drum brakes.

Can't edit my prior post here now, but I meant to also point out that [B][COLOR=#0000ff]one [/COLOR][/B]6.75" Ford rear has a cover shape of essentially 8 sides …… while [COLOR=#b22222][B]the other [/B][/COLOR]is like 4 sided square with round large radius corners.The gaskets show it well, so even if bolt pattern was same, there would not be a seal at corners. As far as I could ever find out, other components are same, seals, bearings, etc. Shafts were shortened with housings, and re-splined by Lehman or a contractor of thiers.
If you ever see[B] leakage [/B]…. [B]fix it asap [/B]to save those axles if possible.
I did discover that these axles were used in [U]some [/U]early Ranger pickups and Bronco IIs as well as Pintos, Bobcats, maybe even 4 cyl Mustang IIs. I think more than adequate for our use.
Here's a better pic of mine without hitch parts in the way which is unlike yours in respect to cover shape/style. Pic from way back in 2004 when I bought it.

Thanks. I'm going to pick up a gasket this weekend and throw some fresh 75w-90 in there. The previous owner told me it has no more than 300 miles on a service, but I'm not sure it included the rear end. It'll get cleaned underneath too so I can see what's going on if something decides to get super leaky.
