The more i think about this part the more i convince myself to skip it.

The Maverick rear end will still be 1/2" wider overall than the stock rear end. I don't think my Falcon can take that, I'm already not a fan of the spacing between the tires and rear fenders.

I'm thinking a 9" from the 60's would work better and be easier to find. I can have it shortened up to fit the new wheels perfectly, and i can get them drilled 4 lug when i order the axles. I don't know what i would do about the drum brakes in back though, that's where I'm stuck.
