Hello,I intend to swap a 8" Mustang II rear axle and replace U-Bolts instead of 7.5".
Don't re-use diff U-bolts. Get new ones from a spring shop (or jobbers) and TQ to spec & do not forget to re-TQ after driving one time.
I think it depends on where you live (or more specifically were the car lived) regarding U-bolt replacement. For those of us in So. Cal. it is likely a non-issue. Reeves (who is listed as from cold/snowy Alberta) had a nasty car crash with his Pinto. So, I'd assume he has a better reason to change the U-bolts than myself.
