...who'se leaf spring plates (rear shock mounts) will fit a 9" rear end going into a '65 Mustang. The standard '65 mounts are way too small for the larger U-bolts required. I'm going to the junkyard tomorrow so I need a list of cars. Thanks in advance.

I kept my old stock plates and drilled some new holes and cleaned it up with a die grinder (slotted the holes).

Another person here on the forum welded the holes up and drilled them to match the wider U-bolts. I would probably do this option if I were to do it again.

Welding them then drilling new holes. Now that's an idea, Thanks.

I welded my holes up and redrilled for the wider tube. I'm sure the slotting would have worked for them but I just felt better about having the smaller hole and it wasn't that hard. I would have used the perches from the 59 Ford that my rear came out of but I didn't think to get them while I was there and it was about 100 miles away.

Sorry I hadn't sent those links about 9" rears yet, but it looks like this thread covered it. Here's another one with some good info and a few pics: http://www.ultrastang.com/
