    i have a 56.5" long, 4 lug 8" with the flange mounting holes different than all others i find....

    the top holes are... 3 and 1/4" OC
    the bottom are.......2 and 7/8" OC
    top to bottom are...1 and 3/4" OC
    bearing retainer......2.654" across

    a 3:00 8" chunk fits in it perfect, could someone tell me what this rearend came out of?

    I guess it's a dumb question for me to ask if it still has the tag on it, right?

    60s mustangs had 4 lugs also. falcons and rancharos had 4 lugs too. i dont have any references as to what that is out of. all you can do is figure what vehicals the width matches. there are several sites that list widht. i dont have them at home. they are on the work computer.

    The Mustang II's do shows an odd part number for the bearing retainer, D4FZ 4020-A. On a side note: 71-'73 Mavericks made before 12/15/72 used the C8UZ 4020-A and '73-'77 used D3ZZ 4020-A. Above part numbers used the same midium size axle bearing
