Gears fit?

Will these gears fit my 71 Maverick with an 8" rear end and 302V8? Would they fit a 72 Maverick with the same?

Yep.
Don't pay too much though.

would $70 be too much?

Aa new gear set is about $160-$180. Dont know what a mini spool goes for but it is not recommended for a street car. The new bearing is kinda worthless because ther are 2 pinion bearings and you need the bearing races to go with it. Besides, any time you put in a new gear set you usually buy an installation kit whch will include the bearing assemblies. Richmond gears are serialized so there should be matching numbers on both gears.

Another thing to consider is the guy has 14 transactions and 2 negitive feedbacks. Not a very good record
