The Ford 9" rear from a 1978 Lincoln Versailles is pretty close to what we need measured flange to flange AND it comes with factory 11" disk brakes with built-in cable operated emergency brake and 5-lug hubs. I discarded the 2.78 28 spline open pumpkin and bolted in a 28 spline posi with 3.50 gearing. All I had to do was fabricate and weld on mounting pads for the shocks and four-link control arms.
