8-3/4 questions

Thanks a lot guys. The info REALLY helps since what was supposed to be a bolt in rear HA HA has turned into a learning experience. I found a place locally that can narrow the housing and he also will cut the axles and re-spline for $450.00 for all. The axle demensions that you gave me Jim will really help.
Thanks again all!
ps Someday when I join the digital age I will send pictures. I have only had enough money to spend on the car lately.
