    Hey all, you guys have been good to me so far on here. I got another one for you, I am trying to convert my 1970 maverick from 4 lug to 5 lug. Thanks to the help of some great guys on here, I've found out that I need disk brakes for the front and a complete rear end from a maverick from 73 or later. Some of the guys said that all of you on here might have something for me for a good price from one maverick guy to another. I am 17 and am completely fixing up my car. So anything that can help send it my way and let me know. Thanks guys!!

    Maybe too far and cost too much to ship, but I saw a 9" rear-end out of a Galaxy, on Craigs List in Salem, Oregon for sale, today.

    8 inch rears from a Granada or Monarch will also bolt right in.

    1975-1980 only. 1981-82 were 4-lug, foxbody 7.5" integrated carrier, coil spring units. The two models look entirely different, but they are both called Granadas...

    You'll want to be looking for the Monarch/Versailles/Granada, not the Cougar/Granada. :D
