    Hi everyone,

    I apologize in advance for my naive questions but I'm still learning (I promise)! My younger brothers and I got a 1971 Maverick 5.0 (2 door) and I'm currently collecting a list of parts (actual links, vendors) that a local mustang shop told me to gather so he could do the work. As he's not familiar with Maverick's, he's up to the challenge if I could supply most parts!

    These are the most critical parts I need and the info I have for some of them. I would really appreciate any info on parts specifically or any insight as to where I could purchase the parts I left blank. I have done my due diligence but need help finding the rest and it would be stupid for me to not ask.

    *Insulators - Are these essentially universal?

    *Spring Perches - What is the difference between the sizes (in inches)? Are there different ones for front/rear?

    *Rear Springs - Looking at 3 leaf as I don't want to raise the rear..
