8 1/4 question

[slantysix]

What axles fit an 8 1/4 rear from a 73 a-body? What are the length of the axles shafts and are there any that are interchangable between years and models? Will axles from a f-body aspen or volare fit? If heard that the axles are the same, just that they have different spacing for the spring perchs but fit if you move them. So dose any one know if the axle shafts would then fit? Or if any other 8 1/4 axle would fit besides an a-body?

F-body housings and axles are not the same as A-body. They are oh so close, but not the same and not interchangeable. Its not that difficult to use F-body rears in A-bodies due to the minor difference in the spring perch centerlines you mentioned. But A-body axles are unique in overall dimensions compared to any other 8.25 rear equipped vehicle.
