Here is a link to ‘The Ranger Station’. It is loaded with information on the Ford axle.

If you only have the housing to work with then add 2½” to each side for the approximate overall width.

Although we try hard to have exact dimensions, these are approximate. Most numbers should be within 1/8″ due to ’rounding’ of factory information. Some measurements have been made on the vehicle but should be close to factory information.
