I should have checked into this before buying, but I bought a 5 lug conversion kit from a guy that was going to install the kit on his 84 gt, but sold the car before installing.

After buying the kit I remembered that the 84 gt's had a 7.5 rear end, and I was wondering if the kit I bought for my car will work or if the spindles will be the wrong size. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Thanks! Anything else I need to look out for being different on a conversion kit that was purchased for an 84?

where did he get the spindles from? anything that'll work on the 84 will work on 79-93 but there is a large selection of 5lug parts to look at. i.e. lincoln conversion, 94-95 stang , 96-98 stang etc...

Spindles and rotors are all new and are from a company called Yukon Gear and Axle. Hopefully this quality stuff.
