Re: 7 1/4 rear ends

[Don Hudson <mopar4me@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'd think that by the time you bought the parts for a 7.25 you could have 
bought an 8.75, certainly an 8.25 (LBP).  Or find an inexpensive B Body 
housing and send it to Moser to cut down to A Body size and buy their axles. 
I've been fortunate (or just lucky) to have obtained four 8 & 3/4s for A 
Bodies 2.94 and 3.23 gears for my 4 A Bodies.
On a side note I will be pulling a complete drum to drum 8 & 3/4 out of my 
65 Coronet within the next couple of weeks (definitely non-SG and think 2.94 
gears).
