Rear ??

If I understand correctly.A 85 TC has the same 8.8 rear as the stangs,I just found one in the J yard.

The only TC's that got 8.8" rears were the '87-'88.  The '85 will have a 7.5" with probably 3.45:1 gears and traction-lok.

You did not understand correctly. ;)

What you probably meant to understand that the 7.5 in an 85 TC has the same width housing as the 8.8 in the Mustangs.....

Yea, like Rod said. 

Is the spare tire/wheel in it?

Also,  I remember reading years ago that some 86 TCs  came with the 8.8.
Only 5 speeds??
Was it a mid year production?

Back in the day when you could roam JYs freely, I used to look under 86 TCs for a 8.8.

Hmmm wonder where that one came from?? I never saw it sitting around Allentown!

What time are you going tomorrow? It's suppose to rain I think but if it's not too bad I might run out too.

Don't know what  I need but it's worth a look.

Sold the '88 TC.. the ones in my sig are my 83's.

I only have 2 now! :)
