Stock speaker sizes you can go to Crutchfield.com and just put in your cars info to get the correct sizes.
Outside window seals are not available. A guy over at Foxtbirdcougarforums.com has a great write up on how to make them tho. You have a 7.5 rear in that bird. Look for a carrier from an 85 mustang gt or a ranger for a LSD
Is it a 28 spline
A/m.com has a 7.5 28 spline for about 500
It is a 28 spline. You would be better off converting to an 86-93 Mustang 8.8 axle assembly. You may have to swap the axle shafts and brakes from your Thunderbird over, I am not sure but I have heard the axle shafts are longer on them. You could find a good used 8.8 from $75 to $250 depending on what gear was in it.
1984 Mustang GT owned since 1991 (first car). Mercury Mountaineer GT-40P engine, some suspension mods, currently undergoing a five lug SN95 brake upgrade and more suspension mods. Some minor body and interior mods have been done as well.

But I joined when I brought my Original Owner low mileage 1988 TC out of long term storage.
I made putting the TC back to road worthy condition a Father and Son project. And ultimately my son learned to maters a T-5 and enjoy driving even more !!
Hugely helpful and saved my son and I time , effort and, most importantly, kept us from wasting money.
One of the best Investments I have ever made in a Car Club -
Give it a Try .

Do you know whats up with all the low mile tbirds I mean I just hit the 25k mark today and it's not that uncommon
It's like they all crawled out of the woodwork in the past 2 years or so. My 84 bird has 43,000 on it. It sat from 1991 to 2012 when I bought it. It's in the process of a resto mod makeover
Nice I love these cars I just can't see anybody not driving the crap out of them
Last ? Is there a Under drive pully kit

Since you have an 86 you can use mustang under drives. In my opinion they're. Waste of money, others may disagree. The gain is a small (very small) bump in horsepower. The downside is potential overheating and charging issues. Just my .02
It's nice just got the rims dune

And I just ask because there's alot of play in all of them
That's a sharp looking bird. Love the phone dials, I wish someone would make them in 15 or 16"
Fixed that pic for ya also.
Yeah thanks lol
I might get new rims but that's what made me look at the car in the first place
