Does a Lincon disc brake rear end have 28 or 31 spline axles?------------------

Depends on the model for certain, but most of the "LARGE" Lincolns would have 31 spline.------------------

Correct.
Early TC's and Mark's were all 31 spline. ------------------

Just had a feeling you were asking about the Versailles rear. A little wide for a '66 but good (narrower) for a '67/68, SteveW

For your information NO disc brake Lincolns were 31 spline. Plenty of drum brake 31 splines up to 1973. 1973 was the last year for 31 spline axles in any Ford type passenger car. Axles were large bearing through out all years and were also available with small axle bearings 1972 and 1973 only.
