    The 8" was a 4-lug on a Maverick from late 1970 thru 1972.

    My car was built in July of 1970 and came with the 7 1/2" rear. Some other things on the car are like a 71. Guess I got about the last 7 1/2" rear.

    That was pretty late in the model year to have the 7 1/2". I bet it had to be one of the last ones.
