    Hey guys,

    Anybody know the measurements on a 70-72 LTD rear? I believe it's going to be a 9" or a Dana, but does it have leaf springs and are the perches about where they ought to be for a Mav? I think I read that the width is 60" for a '76. is that true of the earlier ones? Still a 5x4.5 bolt pattern?

    Thanks!

    70-72 can have either a 9 or a Dana 44. Both are coil sprung 4 link.
