Unless you are locked into using the very heavy and very expensive rear calipers and bearing retainers/caliper mounting brackets that came on the Versaille (77-80) 9" center section; you will be money ahead obtaining a generic Ford 9" rear end from another application and narrowing it and using other calipers. Consider that most of the existing Versaille rear ends are "Open" (non traction lock) and the brake calipers are cores at best.
