Some of the Lincoln rears have a 5x5 pattern.

I put a Chrysler 9.25" rear under my truck because it was freakin massive, had disc brakes and was pretty damn cheap, $200. I thought about converting the rears to a 5x5 pattern, but then you also have to have the rotors drilled as well. I called a few places about redrilling the axles, but nobody round here said they could. I think that it would be much cheaper to get the front rotors drilled than doing it twice in the rear. OK, that doesn't sound right, but you know what I mean.
