2002 mustang GT rear end in duster???
Just did one up for a 68 Barracuda from an Explorer: Get 2 short side axles, section 3" out from the long tube (from the center, if you cut the end off your new weld will take the highest amount of stress as the roller bearings are right at the end) chamfer cut ends and weld using angle irons at 90 degrees to keep everything straight. Grind weld smooth if that is your thing, I knocked the globs off and coated with body seam sealer to seal any porosity. Shoot bare metal with semi gloss to prevent rust. 43" A body perch width is exactly 4 inches inboard of outer edge of brake flange. Ranger rear is similiar but has drum brakes, Mustang rear is similiar but I believe it already has the short axles as a pair.
