Will a 8.75 e body axle fit a 74 duster? Any major modifications? Please advise. Thanks
 
The guy selling it said it would work, one inch on each side will be wider and duster has enough wheel well cover. Not too sure. Thanks anyway.
 
No major mods are required, the spring perches need to be moved in. The overall width will work, as long as you don't expect large tires, some wheel offset can compensate for some of that.

You could bolt it in, but it's not recommended, the leaf itself can be bent/forced to fit.
But again, it's not good to do.
 
you'd need wheel with a ton ob backspace.

It's 2.25" longer on each side than a factory A body 61 5/8" vs. 57 1/8"

Good catch, I re-read the original post...Yeah an E body is quite a bit wider, I somehow figured it was a B body rear, sorry!
