Your friend was wrong. Truck rears won't bolt up.


86-98 Mustang 8.8 (94+ are disk brake and 5-lug)

86-92 Mark 7 (5-lug and disk)

87-88 t-bird (4-lug and disk)


that's about it really

Is the width of the SN95 rears the same as a fox for a direct swap?

Only up to 1998. After that it goes wider. It will still bolt in, but not without some modifications.


Up to 1998, if you take the brakes and axle shafts out, it's basically the same 8.8 housing as an 86-93 fox drum housing...so you could swap your drums on if you really wanted
