ford 9" rearend direct swap?

[saxmo]

Hey guys. Just looking for some confirmation here. I was told recently (yesterday), that the rearend from a 1978-1983 Lincoln Mark V would swap right in to one of our trucks ( I have a 69). I was also told that this is a disk rear from the factory, and it has the 5 on 5 pattern like our Chevy's. I spoke with someone who said that he had done it, and all he had to do was get brackets welded on to his frame for the leaf springs. He said that there was a 1/2" difference in the width, but he made it up in wheel backspacing. He also changed the gears in the center chunk, because the town car was too tall. He said total out of pocket was about $500 to go Ford 9", rear discs, and matching bolt pattern! Is this too good to be true? Has anyone else heard of this crossover? Thanks
