    Ok...I have read Versallies is only disc rear end that fits Mav...I do not want Disc now...just a 9" that is close or dead on bolt in. In all fourms it is said 73 is special front disc brake set up...Can spindle out be done from any coil over set up... ie 70 backing plates out (drum assy) fit my mav when I broke anchor pin...
    spending money to buy rearend and new Rims is more cash than I have...need to try and stay close to stock size as possible... Any directions to this end would be very helpful

    Ok for a cool look in my opinion and staying close to stock, get stock wheels for the front, paint them body color, and get raised white letters with dog dish hubcaps.

    as for the back, get stock ford 15 x 7 wheels, i think they come off of either old trucks or station wagons, then put 255s on the back with the same scheme as the front.

    if you want discs, any maverick year will fit that has discs. some later years of the granada will fit as well. there are many sites and places you can get instruction on how to do it. Im only sixteen and i did it all myslef in under five hours. its really easy!
