Which Ford cars and year model came with an 8" rearend?

I ask because I am in the Middle East and trying to get ahold of one to swap into my 67, 8.8s are readily available but there is alot of fabrication involved and Im trying to find the easier route!

67-70 Mustang rearends are all the same length, as are 67-70 Cougars. I know there are other cars that use the 67-70 Mustang length rear, but I don't remember.

I think there are other rears that are the same width but the spring location is different and would have to be changed. The 67-70 Mustang and Cougar would be the only ones that would be a correct fit without changing anything. The spring pin (on some or all, not sure) Cougars is larger so you may have to weld the hole in the perch up and redrill it to fit a Mustang spring pin.
