The ford 8.8 seems to be a common swap. The width is only slightly wider. The axle tube is the same diameter so the original shock mounts and u bolts can be used. They can also be found with the same bolt pattern. Very common in older ford exploders. They can be found with disc or drums. New spring perches need to be welded on, new drive shaft needs to be fabricated or modify the original. Not simple but parts are readily available and relatively inexpensive.
I will get my rear end pulled apart in a few days and see if any of it’s salvageable.
