Like Fishy said you will need a different carrier. The 2.45 carrier is it's own animal. Chuck

I ran one in the 80's in my Chevy truck and it was just like Hemi GTS said. It was cool for a while but became annoying within a month. I swapped in a "normal" 833 and was much better for street use. If you are ever interested in selling it let me know. I have been thinking of converting...

Sounds like possibly Moser got the axle offset off a little. Not likely but possible. Chuck

Most a-bodies, even into the 70's came with 741's from the factory. It was Mopars way of using up old housing stock. 741's are very underrated. Being 741's have a straight pinion it requires a spacer for the shims. Chuck

You only need to change the carrier to change from 2.45's. The housing are the same. No suregrip available for the 2.45's. There are tons of pre '76 8 1/4's around. Look in 1/2 ton trucks and vans. I got my 3.21's out of a '74 Dodge van. Chuck

Try to find an A999, They have a 4 or 5 disc clutch pack. They were mostly behind 360's. It most likley will be a lock-up but you can convert it to a non-lockup. Chuck

This is the one I have, works great. The bar is set up so you do one side at a time. Chuck

A three pin will be a lock up, a two pin would be a non lockup. The truck would have had a "OD Off" button on the dash. The '92 B350 van I parted out for the tranny it was next to the headlight switch. it was an orange square button. Chuck

E-bodies are the only car rears with the dimensions you mentioned. I don't know anything about the seller or company that sold you the lines but almost all of us here have had mis-packaged parts one time or another. Could it possibly be a truck rear? I don't have any truck rear specs. A truck...

8 3/4's were not available in a truck after '74. If the rear is truely out of a '79 then it is not an 8 3/4 and will either be an 8 1/4 or 9 1/4. As far as the companies listed. I presently have Moser, Strange and Dutchman Axles and have had no issue with any of them. I have been using...

It sounds like it is low on fluid. Chuck

Dana's can have small (7260) u-joint yokes. I have a '74 D200 with a small yoke. I parted out an '88 B350 that also had a small yoke. Chuck

Being an old Buick guy before I was a Mopar guy, stock to stock GM does not build a trans as good as a Mopar trans. I used to put 833's in my stick cars because I couldn't get a Muncie to live. This doesn't mean a GM trans couldn't be made to work but why? When you have a perfectly good trans...

I do the housings for $200 and I supply the ends. I believe he is asking about shortening the stock axles. The last time I checked into have stock ones shortened the cost was less than $100 difference than purchasing new axles. I just use new axles. Chuck

I relocated the spring hangers on my "original" 8 3/4 and sleep just fine at night. I now have a narrowing jig and could build another housing to A-body width, put it in my car and know one would ever know. Chuck

If it was an original car Dana rear then I wouldn't mess with it but it is just an 8 3/4. A drain plug and top fill plug sure would be nice if you are always changing the pumpkin. Chuck

Govermment regulations and common sense go togther like oil and water. Chuck

Like stated earlier it is a GM version. They came in mid 80's 1/2 tons. Chuck

It is the OD unit that doesn't fit. The main case is fine for clearance. Chuck

When mine broke it was the spider gear shaft. Chuck

Wilcap makes tha adapters. http://www.wilcap.com/mopar.html#318350 Chuck

If you are looking for something smaller sized use the 2004R. This is the trans Buick put in the Grand Nationals and T Type Regals. They are stronger than the 700R4 and just as strong as the L60. But being an old GM guy I wouldn't use any of their trannys. They are not good. I used to put...

No worries running the 741. Those things are so under rated. A 741 pinion diameter in no smaller that a 9" ford. Chuck

They make axles in basically any spline you want if you wanted 35 or 40 spline axles they will supply them. Contact them. http://www.dutchmanaxles.com/ Chuck

It make you wonder sometimes about pricing. I purchased my axles from Dutchman in Oregon. Not because I think they are any better than anyone else but mainly to save on shipping costs being I am in Washington. They were very reasonably priced. If I remember right it was right at or less than...

It is only a 3/8" stud, 35 ft lbs should be the maximimum for that size stud. 45 ft lbs is to high for a 3/8" stud/bolt Chuck

If it just recently started whining it very well could be the inner pinion bearing going south. On acceleration the inner (large) pinion bearing is taking most of the load. Regardless if it's the ring & pinion or bearings it needs to be opened up. I would also agree that a 4x4/truck repair...

318 cars could also come with 7 1/4s I have two 318 cars with 7 1/4s. Chuck

The truck 833 tranny are basically like the B-body 833. It is not a direct bolt in like one from a Volare or Aspen but it can be made to work. If my memory serves me right there is someone on here with a truck 833 in their a-body. You will need a V8 bell with a 5 1/8" center hole. Chuck

Wheel Vintiques has rallyes in larger widths and diameters, Summit racing sells them. I have 15 x7's on the front and 15 x 8's on the rear of my Duster. Mine are the SBP but they have LBP also. They also have them on full chrome. http://www.wheelvintiques.com/ Chuck
