you could weld some leaf spring pads to this kit and bolt it in....
As a former member used to say "no says the finger". That thing only has 80k miles, it was a service vehicle at an air base somewhere near Orlando. Yes I want to swap out the torque tube drive line but I doubt that will happen, hell I'd swap that body onto a more modern frame if I did anything major to it, but I'm a Ford guy so ain't happening.General, you can save yourself alot of pain with a new rear in that truck??
You have an electrical connection on it?That's hidden under the intake.
Hint: it's got something to do with the upper intake
Thats a ford rear end...As a former member used to say "no says the finger". That thing only has 80k miles, it was a service vehicle at an air base somewhere near Orlando.

yeah well the hp numbers don't justify and I ain't spend'n big money on this turd.Thats a ford rear end...
I do understand your wanting to keep it original....
Had a 77 chev that I swapped a ford 9 inch in... best thing I did to that truck...
The availability of parts, better Ratio's, and service was way better than any of the stuff for the chevy 10 and 12 bolt.....
And we have a winner!!You have an electrical connection on it?
9 inch rear end housings are produced to bolt into multiple cars by many different manufacturers which would modernize his truck and make life simpler to work and repair.. I do not believe I have seen any companies doing this with 8.8 housings? My suggestion was not for his mustang or for a high HP rating..I never saw the logic of a 9-inch in a Fox unless racecar. You can make an 8.8 damn near bulletproof on a sub 3000 lb car.
I mean, if you have one and need to scratch an itch, I get it that part.
My suggestion was not for his mustang
Any old proportioning valves for sale?Well not much work on the Junk Pyle, cleaned a little more of the dog house, hung some wires back up on their new clips, noticed one rack boot all cracked and split scope creep. It's real!
At least Brand X drives better or I should say stops better, still wants to dip and dodge when hitting the brakes scare'n old women and children on the sidewalks. Might as well do some work on the front end, already has new king pins and steering link so time to change that bent tie rod, yup, one weeny little round bar with the old adjustable tie rod end is bent up in the middle , ordered a new tie rod and newer style tie rod ends only the new parts don't screw together. Yes there is a right and left end so right and left threads but they are not playing well together, only parts listed on LMC site so talked to customer service and they are going to pull the same parts off the shelf and assemble them, if no problems they will send me the assembled link, one problem (knew there was gonna be one), the one end is on back order and gonna be 3 weeks .
So with that on hold I'll yank the engine outta the Pyle and swap clutch and oil pan gasket. Wish me luck.
Oh, got some pics I'll post tomorrow on the big screen.
Ahhhh, noAny old proportioning valves for sale?
