Schuyler,

   I would just find a later model  B body 8 3/4 for
your wagon to bolt in.  It'd be much easier.   The
Dana is a lot of hastle with cutting the tubes,
welding the flanges on, and welding on new perches. I
bought the used truck Dana for $100 with 4.10 gears
and the flanges were another $60.  I still have to buy
some Moser or Strange axles.  I just thought I would
need this in the Savoy since it will have more
horsepower and will be a four speed. I doubt if I will
be kind to the drivetrain !

   Gary
