Well helpfull, thanks, unfortunately no many models common to down here, I've seen a few durangos, maybe one might turn up wrecked some time.

Did any of them have a price? Some of these things cost an arm and a leg down here, when a $30 junk yard shaft might have everything I need to make a shaft up.

Wondering what out there had 7290 joints? Would rather find something at a local wrecker than import all the way down here. Did any jeeps have 7290's there's a lot of them down here. Anything else?

Yep I known this has been asked many times, but can't seem to find a definitive answer. Firstly if I was to weld the perches on in the factory location, angle, what angle would the pinion be relative to perches? My 8 3/4 is out of a truck, and the angle on that is irrelevant but its a very steep...

Does anyone know if the ends are the same for tapered axle earlier 8 3/4s as the later?

How did the factory attach the housing ends on the 8 3/4? I can't see welds, looks smooth almost like one piece with the rest of the housing. Surely it fit over or inside the tube and then was welded somehow? Anyone have some actual knowledge on how the factory did it?

There's a 1986 904 for sale locally, wondering if the stock lockup converter would handle a mild 360? In a light duster with 4.10's Thought the low first gear might be useful too. What's your thoughts anyone?

I'm going so cheap with my build, I'd probably break something else first, like stock b-body axles. It's just bracing will cost me nothing now but time, I think it looks cool, but other than that probably little benefit to me.

I'm building a 4.10 sure grip 8 3/4 for my duster, before I blast and paint it, wondering if it's worthwhile back bracing it. At what sort of power levels should they be braced? I'll probably never run slicks but 295 radials.

Cool thanks that clears it up for me, luckily at work we have lots of machining gear and some very switched on guys.

Hi guys, anyone here got an aluminium drive shaft on their a-bod? What did you use, are there any cheap options? Chopped down ram shaft for example? Be keen to hear what's out there.

Cool, glad to hear.:thumbsup:

From the looks of the measurements I've seen for bearings, they should be the same, but for the slightly thinner axle? So I'm picking should work?

Have to forgive my ignorance here, but what does this locating bar look like, I've never seen anything used when someone welds on a rear.

Hi guys, does any bright folk out there know if the housing end flanges on the pre 65 8 3/4 axle are the same as the later style? Or even if they are close enough that a little machining will make them work?

Thanks everyone, that's just what I wanted to know, as that is what I intend to do, swap in my 8 3/4 and a new drive shaft then swap motor and trans when I get it later. Cheers.

Hi all, swapping from a slant 6 in my 75 duster to a 360, will run a 904. Want to know if there's any difference to drive shaft length in the two set ups? I heard somewhere that the slant 6 904's had a shorter tail shaft, is that right? I don't have a spare small block 904 to measure to check.
