I agree with HWORELL, I do not know know the exact cost of narrowing the rear, but I got a low mileage 8" rear from a '74 Maverick for $175 and then I purchased wheels with 3.75" backspacing to fit the 66" width of the A fenders. Keep your 3.75" backspaced wheels they are just what you need for a Maverick rear. I have 735/75/15 rear tires and they are just 66" shoulder to shoulder on the outside of the tires and so just fit the fenders and are actually pretty big tires. I don't know if it is hard to find Maverick rears, but the yard in which I found mine had three and I picked the one from a '74 with only 68K miles from a 302 with the five lug drums.

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
