    I was wondering if any could give me info on swapping a Versales
    9" rearend from a Lincoln into a 73 maverick. Are the rearends
    a match and just bolt in or does the unit need to be narrowed to
    to the original stock 8" units width before installing. Any help
    is greatly apprecaited.

    Allen; There are a number of sites with info and even pics on how to do this swap. I'm including a link to one of the better ones by our very own Charlie Ping. I'm confident that you will find this helpful. Also try doing a search using "Versailles differential" or such words. Good luck. John B.
