8 3/4 build

a center section is a center section...A..B..C or E body....
if you order the axles from Dr. Diff...you do not need to cut anything...
back plates....???...you really want to run B body backing plates which will allow you to use the large bolt lug pattern without any other modification....plus as there are no A body drums that will fit a LBP without drilling them....both the drums and brakes can be bought at any part store for the B body

make sure you tell DR Diff what backing plates you are using as the axle off set for the A body and B body brakes are different...

To add to it, center sections from the Dodge Trucks also fit.

LBP A Body 8.25” Backing Plates/Brakes/Drums fit an 8-3/4”. That’s what I ran on the 8-3/4” in my ‘74 before I built a Dana 60 for it. My ‘73 had I think C Body backing plates and drums on it (I wanna say they were 11” or 12”, they were gigantic)
