Re: Rear end advice

[Terry Dyke <twdyke@xxxxxxxx>]

Jimmy you can get 8 3/4 posi rear-ends that are the same width as a 64 B 
body original rear-end for $100.00? If you run into one in 389 or 410 let me 
know it will save me alot of problems. Most of the 8 3/4 rears I find are 
too wide for the early B bodys. I am just learning on this car so I 
appriciate all the help I can get. The older parts are far and few between 
in my area. Terry
