Thunderchickens have them also.

Find you a yard that will let you walk around and start looking around.

70's and 80's Jags can be found with Dana center sections and are cheap.The IRS is mostly a complete unit and can be easily used. A rough whole car you can find for a few hundred to a grand. Worth it as the front gear is really nice also if you want your project to handle well

Lincolns had independent rear as well in the 90s..

I was doing my apprenticeship @ Ford when the Exploder switched over platforms from live axle to I.R.S... Was a night and day difference!

I think they were based on the same setup as the T-Bird, Cougar, MK 8, but not 100% sure.
