You probably wont find one ready-made, but check out racingjunk.com. Ive seen a few there for sale. They were mostly stock.

Also check 4x4 and rock crawler sites because those guys narrow them down to fit under jeep CJ's
That is where i got mine and the only thing I had to do was install new spring mounts which i got from Speedway Motors

to add a question, what type of car would be the best fit for the luv if you were to find a stock car with a 9 inch? I'm trying to find a rearend but i dont want to do alot of work on it.

I would think a early mustang would be about as narrow as you could find. You need to measure the width between your backing plates and your spring mounting pads and see what you can find. It wouldn't hurt to get your frame width too.

i need to change the rear end in my luv, is the mustang the only thing that comes close to fitting a luv, and are they a 5 or 6 stud pattern?

If you are looking for the Ford 9" then a Mustang or Maverick should be close and would be a 5 lug pattern. If you just need to get a different rear end, the S-10 axle is a nearly perfect bolt-in swap. It is also a 5 lug pattern. And the Isuzu P'up is of course an option for a stock replacement with a six lug pattern.
