I'm baffled too. I was told it came out of a mustang but it can't be....
I measured it from backing plate to backing plate and it's 54"
It's the same width as the rearend that's under it now.
I thought T-bird rears had disc brakes? This has drums.
It has a small rear sway bar that looks like the size I swapped out of the '82 in favor of the larger '87-93 bar.
