Will a mid-90's t-bird rear work for a 5-lug convert?

I can get one for free in good shape. My father in law is collecting cars to scrap out. So... it's mine if it'll work. I think the t-bird was a coil sprung rear like the stang. I just don't know about the width. What you guys think?

Yeah... I think you're right. I kinda jumped ahead of myself. I did a search and came up with the info that it's probably an IFS rear. I'll check this weekend anyways. He's susposed to be lookin for some mustangs. But he hasn't found any. So far I got a 302roller cam motor that I can rebuild out of all the junk cars. Thanks for the info though.
