    Shouldn't a maverick with a build date 9/73 have a 5 lug rear? Also owner unsure if car has disc or not. If it happens to isn't the 74 disc a smaller setup? Car is a 6 cyl. 4 dr. If it is drum will the 5 lug hub/drums swap on 4 lug spindles? Cannot get to see vehicle until next week. Interested in it for parts owner selling for $125.

    A '73 6 cylinder car will be 5 lug. At least, both of mine are.

    The front 5 lug hubs will go right on your 4 lug spindles assumeing both cars have drum brakes up front. You will have to swap the entire rearend though.
