Re: 8.75 rear question

[John Hammond <426_maxwedge@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

On a similar 8-3/4 question; (one I've wondered about for some time), is the 
nutted drum, '64 back housing adaptable to be used in a regular axle/slip on 
drum configuration? I've got several '63-'64 rears I just never could toss 
out since I thought they had to be good for something; but if it's cost 
prohibitive or not worth the trouble...
   If they are reconfigurable how does one go about the changeover 
proceedure?  I remember reading one time that the brakes from all Mopar 
rears were interchangeable: does this mean that one could pull stuff off a 
8-1/4 or a 9-1/4 and expect it to work on a        8-3/4?  I'm sorry if this 
seems like a newbie-type question but it's one I've never got a satisfactory 
answer for.

Yes the sure grip unit is interchangeable between all the cases, 741,
742 and 489, just the gear sets are not interchangeable.
