They are more expensive than I thought. I dont know why I was thinking they were under $2K. Guess it was wishfull thinking.
Have you considered a 8.8 out of a 83-87 T-bird Turbo Coupe, Trac Loc, swap out the axles with a lincoln (4 lug to 5 lug) around here they're about $100-150 if you pull it yourself. It's a tad wider than stock, but you should be able to offset with the wheels. Plus you can have disc brakes in back
