I second the mini-spare's from the full size Fords.  I've got two from a 
Mecury Marquis.  (Not sure why it had two.  Just my lucky day at 
Pick-N-Pull.)  I have in one in my Spirit and one in my wife's Javelin.  One 
warning, though.  Make sure to check the fit, both front and rear.  Some 
Ford rims have a slightly smaller center hole than AMC.  You may have to 
enlarge the hold slightly with a grinder wheel.  It's best to know before 
you have the flat.
