for the rear brakes i got mine off of a 85 lincoln versiles, took the mounting plate off the 8 inch rear end tube and welded it on my 9 inch and they work very well, alot better than the ole drummers. hope this helps ya...

I'm Pretty Sure I Have An 8 Inch Rear End Will I Still Have To Weld It.thanks Alot For Your Help

well i had to cut them off, because they are welded to the 8 inch diff from factory. i bought the whole rear end and just cut the tubes and peeled the tube back from the brackets to get a true fit to my 9 inch tube..

I got a front kit (Granada) from Jim's Mustang in El Cajon Ca. Included all new parts except rebuilt calipers and good used Granada spindles. Everything else was new, Cost me about $650, but that was several years ago.
