Wanted! 8 3/4

[flyinbrick68]

Looking for an 8 3/4 that will bolt in to a 72 fury. Can be slightly narrower and any help will be appreciated.

I have a Dana 60 if you might be interested in that.

Not sure where you're from or if it will work but I have a rear minus the chuck from a '71 Chrysler wagon. Complete, drum to drum, minus the chuck. Do you know what you need for measurement between the spring perches?

How much for the Dana in Cleveland?

i live in nebreska ill have to head down to where my cars stored and take some measurements. A dana should work also... ill have to get the drum to drum measurements ect and perch to perch and let u know. should be 47.3 from everything ive read.

Ah, ok, truck. I didn't remember.

That sounds about right. I'll get some measurements in the next day or two for you.

any luck? do you have an 8 1/4? if so could you use this? http://www.forbbodiesonly.com/mopar...7086-8-1-4-sure-grip-and-3-55-ring-and-pinion

I measured the 8 3/4 I have and it's somewhere between 47 1/4 and 47 1/2 " center to center on the perches. Let me know if that works.

Do I just not see that it. There is no call out for an 8 3/4 for a C body.

 

[commando1]

You can assume all C-body axles dimensions (regardless of carrier size) are the same.
59.2/47.3/11.69

Thanks Commando - handy chart

That chart is not gospel, beware, a tape measure is your friend a 66 charger rear is 1.5 inches narrower than a 68 charger the chart lumps this all in 62-70 b body. good info for sure and I tend to believe later cars as disc brakes became standard rear ends got slightly wider to match front track increase FWIW.

 

[flyinbrick68]

yup got er all measured ect...so hopefully ill get er whooped.

I have a complete working 71 New Yorker 8 3/4 from drum to drum if that will work for you. Let me know.

Thnks,

Wizard

still leaves my scratching my head why they would change their spring perch mounting dimensions
from the earlier body style on the 8.25 rear end. Only think i can think of is a possible wider body and frame. perches measured 47.3 center to center little over 64 inches wide.. those are the dimensions i need.
