    I am wondering if anyone can give any info on where I could get a 8" 5 lug rear axle that fits a 70 mav?

    8 inch Rearend

    I have one for sale. I'm asking 50 dollars, the only problem is that I'm in Rhode Island and shipping would be exspensive.
    It came out of a 67 mustang I'm not sure if it was the original. Previous owner said it had 3.73's in it but I find that hard too believe because I haven't seen gears that size made for an 8 inch. But it will bolt right into a Mav.

    Killer, is the brake system complete? If so I'll see if I can talk my friend into doing a roadtrip.
