Merp, I went to the wrecking yard yesterday for a quick look to fing a windshield gasket. The ford 9 inch rearends here in Idaho are going for about 350 dollars. I found a 10 inch chevy rear end out of a Olds Cutlass, that I think will be real close to fitting under the luv. There are millons of those around, and they were asking only $100. The stock luv rear end is 4 Feet wide from the brake backing plates. The Olds rear end was 4 ft 3 inches from the backing plates. I was on my lunch hour and running out of time so I need to go back and check some other measurments. I know the brake drums are wider than the Luvs, but this might be a good fit. I will let you know, because I am going back today, because I have all day to play in the wreaking yard, Oh will also need to have some leaf springs blocks welded onto the olds rear end, because the have a coil suspension. That cant cost to much to do, I dont think.

Alright thanks guys, Luv man i dont have the numbers you need never heard of what your talking about PM me whith an explanation of what you need and ill look through my books. Yeah here in spokane we have 2 pull and saves i just didnt have the time to look there(i was driving to school from the skills center and was late as is ). Oh and Rick where are you in Idaho becouse if its not too far (as in whith in 360miles round trip) $350 for a 9" is realy good.

Merp sorry it took so long for me to answer. I got called away, and just got back. I live in Namp, which is right next to Boise in southwest Idaho. I have a friend that can find almost any part, and I will have him look for a Ford 9 inch. He told me about 2 Ford rearends 6 months ago for $350, but I wasnt interested. Who knows, maybe he can find some more, and with any luck the price will be cheaper. It doesn't hurt to ask. I will let you know, as soon as I hear something.
