yea the guy we bought the first rear from didnt realize it was a 7.5 (niether did we until we looked at it the next day with some light) and he has a ton of mustang parts and we have been waiting for the next rear but we couldn't get a hold of him for a while ... finally he called the other day said his mom died and he we get the other to us by this weekend ... i have been keeping my eye out for 93-01 explorer as well as the width is close enough and they have the 31 spline 5lugs but i think 3.73 will be to high for a nice cruiser

well we got a little more work done this weekend got the front end mostly asembeled and removed the back fenders and box and rear end ... might have to exchange our spindles for the drop spindles to get a little closer to the ground as we are a bit higher right now than we would like but we have the dummy motor sitting in the front right now and we cut a loop out of the springs that plus the weight from the transmission fluids water pump radiatoralt.... should sit an inch or two lower than it is now so we will see
