It fits, it works, and presumably it has the right ratio in it. May not be quite as strong as a 9", but it also consumes less power to drive than a 9"If I recall right those are C-clip axles, why not put a C-clip Eliminator kit in it and convert it to Exploder rear disc's ? The Versailles E-brake won't hold a heavy truck on a hill like the Exploder brake can. Not to mention that most Versilles have been scrounged for that part first. If you want to persist in this direction, Mercury Colony Park Wagons of the same general vintage had rear discs, either as an option or std.
