66 B body 8 3/4 Diff into 'A' body (70 Duster)????

[ShowAndGoResto]

Hi. I was told a 66 B body 8 3/4 diff is alittle wider than a stock A body Diff....like two inches....sooo one inch per side wider.
Question is..has anyone installed one into a Duster? Tire/Wheel size? Clearance?
Have one available to me so was thinking it should fit nice and give me larger brakes and large bolt pattern...bigger wheel studs etc.

I know I will have to move the hangers...

Thoughts??

Thx

That would be a great swap, You'll widen your rear stance and with the big wheel wells on a Duster you won't have a problem.

Thats what I was thinking...these cars have a narrow rear track to begin with....and it would give more room to the leaf springs.
Should work but was wondering if someone already did it...

Not in a Duster but I have in a 68 Dart.
