No the 7.5" rear ends were on all Thunderbird Turbo Coupe before 1987 models. I had one with 10" brakes, it was a 7.5". You don't want 10" brakes anyway, hard as hell to find parts for.

1987-1988 TC's were the only 8.8" rears, they also came with disc brakes. They are very popular for conversions on Mustangs so they are hard to find.

The Thunderbird has a wider rear end, not shorter. Still it's only 1 1/2 so it's not too bad. Kinda like a SN95.
