I have all the parts necessary to install disc brakes on the front of my 68' Barracuda. The donor car was a 75' Duster. The problem is that the lug pattern is larger on the Duster parts. In order to run the same lug pattern on the front and rear I want to change out the entire rear end. What cars have the larger lug pattern and are the same width, or close, as the rear end on my Barracuda? :?:

If you have a 7 1/4 (9 bolt cover) under the car now just get the same thing from a Duster or other A body that had the same disc brakes your are using for your swap.

the disc brakes are going to widen the stance on the front a little so i would use all the parts from the 75 to match

All A-body rear ends are the same width.

Yes, but all A-body rear ends are the same width. If you want the larger lug pattern, then use the rear end for a '73 - ''76 A-body with disk brakes.

If you don't mind using Ford parts, then a 8" rear end from a '70s Maverick or a '70s Monarch will bolt right in.

Plus, the wider front track is better for handling anyway.
