does anybody know a company in the southeast that narrows 9in rearends? Also how much would i need to have cut off? Do i need to make the specs exactly the same as the 8in in my 66 now? Or could i make it a little bit shorter but still wide enough for the leaf springs so i can run wider tires? i need some major info before i spend the big money for this rearend. Anybody know where i can get a versailles rearend so i can eliminate the narrowing problem. Or a granada or monarch. Please help guys

Call Currie or Mosier....they will make you a custom rearend with custom high strength axles that are far superior to stock and it will probably cost you less than buying a 9" locally and having it shortened.

http://www.mustangsandmore.com/ubb/FordRearDimensions.html Go here for the measurements you need for your rear end. You might want to ask a local shop that deals with Rear ends where you could get it done. It might be cheaper that way than shipping it. Good Luck

PSA, I'm not bitching, but everyone that can own/drive/work on a classic Mustang should be capable of using Google....
