8 3/4 rear end question

Hey, I resemble that remark. I'm 62, and if I felt the need to swap chunks I would slide right under there and do it.
Every streeter should have at least 2 chunks. Unless you have a 5 speed. At one time I had eight, with a 4spd.
I installed a drain plug in my banjo; so 65 minutes on a hoist, from the time the drainplug goes back in. A lil more, if laying on your back, and feeling around for tools.

Rear ends shipped from the factory with a SG had a large X cast into the carrier. I seem to remember the X being around the filler-plug.............In addition to the tags.

I disagree with the statement concerning the "X" casting........ the "X" is cast into the "741" housings and has nothing to do with sure grip or not..... Any of the housings could have a suregrip, it was a paint splotch and a tag that signified that.
