8.25" rear rebuild....thoughts???

I agree, I just do not see A-body 8.75's much and they ones that are complete are much more than $500 unless they are in need of a rebuild. Plus superdart has a 75 which very likely has the large bolt pattern front wheels so the cost of converting the rear 8.75 to big bolt pattern needs to be factored in.

Last year I picked up an 8.25 for the price of a case of Bud. It was already a sure-grip but had 2.9 gears. I purchased 3.55's from Randy's for $175 and a master bearing kit for slightly less than $100. Took a Saturday morning to rebuild.

A sure-grip can be purchased for $175 to $500 depending on what you get and good quality axles are $130 from Randy's
