    Take it now, and decide if it is correct when you get home. All it takes is a tape measure...

    Just under 3 inches wider than the Maverick rear but will bolt in with the right offset wheels. If the price is right still worth getting. What ratio is it?

    Are you sure it is NOT a 9"?

    The bottom bolt will be hard to get to with a socket if 9"...

    if it was an 8 inch and out of a 70 stang. The overall width is wider than a MAverick but on the +++++ side there might be the posibility that it could maybe already be posi tractions (limited slip) in which case the center chunk would be nice to pull out and put in a Maverick
