The boss (my wife) told me to order my 4:10's today, and mt stang is at home waiting patiently..

I am assuming GT's came with the 8.8"... Is this correct??? or did Ford actually put the 7.5" on GT's ???

To pumped to wait and measure, how bout it gang??

Actually, now that I think about it, there were some GTs in 84 without the 5.0 HO, that makes me wonder if the 8.8 might have been an option or something. Hold off on those gears. Anyone else???
