Rear shock plates...

New Member
Have a question on a 1966 mustang.. Converting from 6 cyl with the small 7 1/4" rear diff to a ford 9 Inch. Ordered the correct rear ubolts and was planning on drilling the retainer plates out for the new bolts. Before I go through the trouble.. why not ask the stupid question. Who has done this with success or just buy new plates??
 
Just buy new plates...it's a whole lot easier.

Besides, it's OPM (other people's money)!
 
Why not use the spring plates from the donor car? Wasn't it a '69 Falcon? Should fit like a glove..
