    Hello,

    I am in need of a driveshaft and wanted to know what other cars would interchange with a Maverick. I have a C4 with a 9 inch.

    I have looked through the tech areas and did searches but I could not find any information this.

    Thank you in advance

    Chuck

    Correct me if I'm wrong guys but doesn't a 80's Ford Ranger drive shaft also work? Good Luck!

    79-2004 Mustang shafts are a direct fit for a 2 door Mav with a V8 and C-4.

    Thanks all,

    Mike G747, when you say Fox body Mustang, is that the same as what Baddad457 is saying 1979-2004 Mustangs?

    Again, thanks for the help.

    Chuck

    Fox body Stang = 1979-1993. I'm running a 2004 shaft in my 77 Comet. It was a new shaft that Fort Wayne Driveline was selling on ebay a few months ago. He had a pile of em that were leftovers from Ford's production line.
