I picked up a 8.8 out of a ford explorer. It is 1/2" narror than stock width, has 31 spline axles, and most are posi's. I picked mine up for $100, 373 posi with disc brakes. Its good if your going to run a mustang II cause you can get it with the 4 1/2 -5 ford pattern. If not you can either get new axles or drill your old ones to match your front. I havent put mine under the truck yet. check out stovebolt.com , There is a post on rearends in the tech section. They have a lot of donor widths.
