Default using Ranger 5 lug rear conversion

i need help.

people want too much money for their conversion "kits" which i know is axles and drums from a ranger/ aerostar.

if i wanted to go to a parts store to buy drums and 5 lug axles for my mustang what would i need?

is it 2 rear driverside axles from the ranger? and what size drum because there are 3 different sizes



THANKS

your best bet is to go to a junk yard pulle the left side axles aout then a left and right side backing plate. then just run drums for what ever ranger the backing plates came off of.

i believe he got them from an '88, i think '83's is what works best

if he got them off of an 8.8 axle they wouldnt fit. maybe that is what he did
