Just put a Lincoln Versailles (9" w/disk brakes) rear end in it if you can
find one. If you go to a local bone yard don't tell them you're looking for
a Ford 9" or you pay a million dollars for it. If the junkyard dog is smart
he'll know anyway and you're screwed but if not they might only charge you
about $50-$150 bucks!
YMMV,

[quote] Yes I wonder what Mazda was thinking when they made the front width
57" and then put a 56" wide rearend in it? The only way I see to over come
this is to use spacers for the rear or to run different offset wheels. Then
you give up rotating them because the tires have to be different sizes to
fit properly under the truck.[/quote]
[b]JD.....almost all street cars/trucks have a narrower rear track width
that the front. The few exceptions are usually high performance rear
engine/RWD sports cars, and a few hi-po front engine/RWD sports cars. Vipers
and Porsches come immediately to mind. [/b]
