    wondering if it goes in the s**** pile or not.
    1972 4-lug Pinto, 57" wide from axle flange surface.

    Open drive (not posi).

    Small, obviously not for V8 use, right?

    Cleaning out the yard, thats all.
    Thanks!

    Yep! It is an 8" I found one with 4.11 gears. Slip in Maverick axles and go

    More than likely it's the very weak 6 3/4" rearend (8 bolt rear cover, shaped like a stop sign), it's not worth anything.

    if it has a bolt on rear cover its the weak one. if it is an integral type it might be worth a dollar or two

    I don't think that the 8" rear end was available until 1974 (Pinto/Mustang II), so if it is in a 1972 it's probably s****.

    sell it. to a Pinto guy..www.fordpinto.com
    if it was out of a wagon the brake drums are wider and a little harder to find in the parts stores.
