Mustang II rear end for a shoebox ford?

I found a 1977 mustang II donor car for my 1950 but I am not sure if the differential is the best choice for this car. I could also use the front end pieces or clip if this is a good idea. Help before I commit to this thing.

 

If it is an 8" it is good. If it does not have drop out center, p*** on it. It is 57", so other 1950 owners can tell you if width is good. V8 models should be trac-lock. This was fuel economy era so probably 3.00:1.

 

all must 11 that i have seen are 4 lug bolt pattern. rear will look funny and hard to find 15" wheels for . front is fine and you can get 5 lug rotors for it from speedway. you might be able to redrill the rear axle to 5 lug.

 

8" Maverick is probably the easiest swap into a shoebox Ford.
