    i think thats too wide. its hard to say what the width with tires should be. im thinking it shouldnt be wider than 72 inches from outside of tire to outside of tire

    9 inch rear ends come in a wide variety of widths.
    Find one that is within an inch of your stock rear end and you will be fine.

    that wont just bolt in. that diff is narrowed and set up for either a 4 link or ladder suspension. you would have back half and tub your car to use that diff and those tires.

    That is a narrowed rear end. You will have to measure the distance between your spring mounts to know if it will fit.
    I doubt it will fit without modifications and installing tubs.

    That's a good buy for all that stuff! Wish I had the money, that would be great under a Pro street style car or a street rod....

    Maverick Maniac sells his 9 inches fit just for the maverick. he supplys the housing and you use your 5 lug axles and 9 inch center.

    Look for a 65 or 66 mustang 9 inch, they are the best fitment, narrower than a 67 to 70. They're only going to be in a hipo 289 car though, so unless you luck out, good luck. 67 to 70 mustang or cougar work too, but I believe they're an inch wider than stock on each side. Shouldn't matter unless you already have wheels.
