1952-59 Ford i need...

does anyone have a line on a maverick rear end? im getting ready to do my 302 swap and dont want to make a driveshaft for the stock rear just to change it out later so i figured id just go ahead and do a maverick rear end swap while im at it. problem is im having a hard time finding one.

 

You might also look for a 8.8 rear from a Ford Ranger quite a few are posi,they are also 4.5 X 5 bolt pattern.

 

do you have to change the spring perches on those?

 

I got mine from posting a Wanted ad on Craigs List . I had many replys with rears from $100 to $250 . I got mine for $100 from a 66 Mustang .

pm sent for an 8" Mustang in your area.

 

use a explorer rear . 95 down are drum brake 96 to 01 are disk brake . rangers are over sprung explorers are uderslung . my 55 has a ranger rear and they cut the perchs off to move them to the bottom of the axle . alot of rangers are also 7.5s where explorers are 8.8 .
