8 3/4" from a 1/2 Ton P/U or Van For "A" Body

The easiest non-a body 83/4 swap is still the 66-70 B body rear. here's a Mopar Muscle article on that:

Yep, 66-70 work well with the 66-67 being the best choice. 68-70 are slightly wider.

That article is a victim of the rotten info regarding axle widths.

I found a stripped "B" body housing today for $40. Nothing left on it but the studs & spring perchs..

It isn't even rusty. I has a nice even coat of faded black paint on it.

Is $40 a fair price?

It's supposed to be from a '69. I'll take my tapemeasure W/me when I go back to get it & do a thorough inspectioj & measure the width.
