Re: late model rear ends
77-79 Lincoln Mark V or Ford Thunderbird (T-Bird is drum brake)
Ford 9 inch 63 1/2 inches wide Factory disc brakes w/ 12inch rotors 5 X 5 bolt pattern (stock 15X8 GM Ralley wheels bolt on) Factory sway bar Parking brake easely adapted Gears are easley changed. No more C-Clips Driveshaft must be shortened and use a conversion u-joint The most gear ratio and locker/posi choices of any rear end ever made. The 1994-96 Chevrolet 9C1/Impala SS Disc brake rear is a good choice as well although i'm not sure of the overall width. Not as heavy duty as the ford but it already has the posi and lower gear. The Lincoln comes with either a 2.75 or 3.00 but gear sets are a dime a dozen for the 9 inch.

Re: late model rear ends
Yeah think ill just stick with the 9 inch I was planning on.disc brake kits are cheap. Just wondering if there was a good later model rear.went to the junkyard today looks like all the latemodel rears are 6 lug
