I know I'm using the "F" word, but does anyone know what donor cars I can use that have either a drum setup or a disc setup that fits the big ford bearing ends. I believe the hub size is 1-7/16" and the years the vehicles can be are between 49-72.
Thanks for the help.

Sorry I can't help on "donor cars" except that I'm eventually going to be using a Versailles housing with disc brakes.

thanks for the info. I'd like to have a disc setup, by Aerospace or even Wilwood, but due to a thing called money, I have to run drums in the back for now.

They have rebuilt drum kits on that page......

And they probably build enough rears to be able to tell you what donor cars you need to look for too if you want to go the salvage yard route.

Why do the years of the car have to stop at 1972? I think a 9" big bearing has the same demensions and bolt patterns for all years. Late 70's full size Lincolns(MarkIV) etc. have big bearing (but tapered)and a disc set up. Any big bearing pick up truck set up should work.
