I'm a little confused (which is normal).  One note says "65 and 66 8 cylinder Mustang and 65 Falcon and Comet 8 cylinder spindles" and "All 67, and 68 69 Mustang and Cougar drum brake spindles are the same" and then a later post says "65 through 67 Kelsey Hayes disc brakes use the same spindle as the drum brakes."  The two seem to conflict since one is saying 65-66 are unique and the second post says 65-67 are the same?  Or am I misreading something?  Based on this, is the consensus that 1965 through 1967 V8 (big or small block) Mustang and Shelby's all used the same spindles regardless of disc or drum?

I am going through my spares this coming weekend to eventually thin out what I have. I think I have read in the past that the 1966 and the 1967 V8 car front spindles regardless if it was a 66GT Mustang coupe or Shelby 67 GT500- Is that correct?   If not what are the different casting numbers to differentiate them? Thanks!

Are any of the pictures I posted 1970 mustang/boss? (all were claimed to be original 70 boss/mustang on ebay). If not, anyone have any pictures they could post of the visual differences - I'm not real familiar with shifter terms so pictures help? 

The push in shifter lever is a good one I can look for. Would there be a specific code on the body just like they did on they chrome handles?

Yes, it was in some of the big block mustangs also.

The experts here can correct me but the RUG-S was also used in 1967 so the C6 tail could work if you plan to use it as a 67 trans and the C7 could work on a 68. What I cant answer for you is around what Shelby serial number in 1967 did the tailshaft go from C6 to C7 (example did #2700 and above use a C7?).    Which one you use would depend on at year and Shelby serial number.

I need a Boss 302 4sp 1970 shifter assembly, lever, rods etc. I have read enough where the chrome shift lever is easy enough to identify as a 70 and same with the rods because of the Dxxx #'s.  The question comes in with the body of the shifter. I have seen even on the Boss 302 page a shifter and its labeled as super shifter . When I look on ebay there are some that are stamped competition plus and others just say Hurst and their bodies all look (to me at least) like the same body and levels and they are being called 70 boss shifters. Anyone know what they came from the factory with?  Prices are all over the place and I would prefer to get the correct one if spending the money on a used one.

Note: I didn't post to the Boss exchange because I can't seem to register there (same problem people used to have here)

Just listed it on eBay today 2/21  with a starting price of $1500. Got to build up the parts fund!

I am looking for a standard dash cluster with a tach for my 1970 mustang.  Not concerned about the bezel but the 1970 standard gauges are different than the deluxe and different then the 1969.  I've included a picture.  If you have one PM me and let me know what you need to get.  Thanks

Adjusting price- asking $1900 or best offer

68 GT350 AT 1487

NO Longer Available- sold.         

I have an original 9 inch rear I bought a year or two ago for $2100. It was rebuilt right before I bought it (have receipt somewhere) and never installed. Its a 3:50 gear and POSI.  The casting near where the summer bracket attaches says C5A or C6A (hard to read). The casting on the orange part which I believe is the date code seems to read 1  2  6 (also hard to read).  The housing is pitted as its an old original and there is no tag but you can buy repro's I guess if needed.  If I can get $2000 back out of it I'll sell it. If interested PM me.  It is located in CT near the Springfield Mass border. I prefer pickup- I personally don't plan to crate it and ship it but could maybe drop it off to somewhere local as is. Thanks. 

Did the white come out of CT within the last year or so?  I spoke to a guy last year who had one with the same color combination here in CT and it looks like the same car. I think the one I saw sold once via Craigslist and then changed hands again all within the past year or so- probably flipping it. I'll have to look to se if I kept pictures.

Yes, appears to be seal sealer.  The first car I saw it on was an untouched original and was surprised to find it behind the panel (cant remember if that was a 69 or a 70 Boss 302). Then when I saw it again on this 70 Boss 302 it made me wonder how common it was. 

I always thought this was cool- Boss script in the inner quarter from the factory.  I've seen it in two out of the three Boss cars I've had over the years.

I looked where you mentioned it but wasn't able to find it?  If someone has the 67 version (if it exists) please post it in the 1967 section. Thanks.
