    WTB: 8" rear for 66 mustang

    Needing help finding an 8" rear for my 1966 mustang, trying to upgrade from 4 lug to 5 lug. I live in Knoxville, TN. Finding lots of overpriced 8" rears on craigslist, but I'm trying to find one in good shape that I can bolt right in. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    1966 200ci Project car, converted to 5 lug w/ 8" 3.00 rear. Hopefully it'll drive one day...

    I may have found one in Savannah, headed there to hopefully pick it up on Friday morning. Nothing like a 7 hour road trip to pick up mustang parts!

    Yeah, I had to drive 5 hours round trip for an 8" rear end out of a Maverick.
    It had 2.80 gears, and needed rebuilt.

    Found one! 2.80 8" rear end for a 65-66 mustang. I only had to drive 7 hours there to get it...didn't know what the ratio was until I got there and saw it in person but I didn't want to pass it up.
