are all the mark IV's the same? spline count, big bearings etc? I've heard somethings about a metric lug?

I think that all the lincoln rears are 28 spline. Not sure of bearing size.

cool headed to pnp today, so any lincoln 9" should be ok?
thanks matt,

The mark VI rear is about 64" wide (backing plate) and the Versille is I think 59" or 60" wide.
I have had really bad luck with the axles, I broke 2 of them in a Toyota so I pulled the whole rear out.
The housing is super strong though and the disk brakes work really well.
Bearing size is fairly small for the size of the car but I never had a problem with them.

MK IV/Full size = Big bearing
Versailles = Small bearing

On the Mark VI with the big bearings is that a 28 spline? Saw one at the PNP with rear discs. Could get it for $50
