Default Lincoln LSC disc brake rear axle

Hi Guys,
A friend of mine has a Lincoln LSC rear axle sitting out in front of his garage. Although it's been exposed to the elements for a while, it is complete from rotor to rotor. He got it for his '40 Ford panel truck, but he's going to use something else.
He has offered it to me for $450.00. Does anyone here know any of the particulars on this rear end? I haven't measured it yet, but does anyone know (off the bat) if this axle could be used on my 64 1/2? Or, should I get a disc brake kit for what is more than likely an 8" rear that is already in my car?
Thanks in Advance,
Brian

450$my goodness im assuming this is the solid rear axle from a Mark 7 not the Mark 8 correct??


the Mark7 uses an 8.8 rear just like the 5.0 mustangs but is even wider by .75 incs on each side iirc the stock mustang rear is too wide

Thanks for your Reply. Yes , it's solid. Did the Mk VIII have IRS? Is $450.00 a good deal?

no, it's a horrible deal. go get an explorer 8.8 with discs and a 31-spline posi for around $200 and cut down one side if you want an 8.8.
