Lightbulb Ford 9" Conversion Info

Hey guys , I just bought a Ford 9inch rear end for my truck, only paid 75 bucks here for it and it has a locker with 3.50 gears. Have any of you guys done it or know of any reference for conversion, (measurements, replacement parts) that kinda stuff?
btw. i currently have a 12 bolt in it with 3.40 gears ive been told its a dana rear end beause its not a normal 12 bolt ratio (34 ring 10 pinion)

Thanks
ANY help will be apreciated!
Mike

Measure from the brake drum to brake drum at the lug bolt location where the wheels set on both, and go from there
