I've been searching but don't have a definitive answer,  what is the center to center measurements for the spring perches for a 80 pinto ?

I think it's 42.5". Lemmie wait till the sun comes up and I will measure mine. It is a 76 Bobcat but will be the same as yours. I just recently swapped in a rustang II rear axle. I should remember that as I did measure it, but I ain't as young as I used to be.

great, I have heard 41.75 , 42.25 and 42.50 don't know which is correct.

Thank god you didn't ask for the drum to drum width of a stock rear end. I've seen AT LEAST a dozen different numbers for that one.

Nope, just center to center measurement for the spring perch.

Mine measures 42.5" exactly. That's center to center on the leaf springs.

thanks Rob, you were right on...!

You bet.

check out those newly mounted spring perches setting on my narrowed Ford Explorer rear axle housing, exactly 42.50 inches center to center I might add and thanks again........    http://www.fordpinto.com/it's-all-about-the-turbo/official-1980-turbo-pinto-project-thread/
