The 4.10/4.30/4.89 all fit the 8-3/4 carrier. You can use a WW2 1/2 ton since it has the same mounting bolt pattern. To do this, you will have to cut 1/16 off of the pumpkin's mounting surface face to make up the 1/16 difference in axle center line from using the smaller pumpkin. You will also need to have made "step down" studs since the 1/2 ton mounting studs are smaller. This will make a good road truck, but you'll have a weaker pumpkin than the 9-5/8ths when doing off road stuff.
