Re: Cragar SS rims/axle widths

[rll <rlipinski3@xxxxxxx>]

for what it is worth..

this is outside the 62-65 years range so i apologize before hand.

For years the "expert" sites have listed different tread widths for E body, 70 and later
and C bodies, 68 and later.

My brother and i did 4 axle swaps among these years and a 68 fury 8 3/4 bolts into a
70 barracuda or challenger...perfectly.( or from a 68 Chrysler 300 in another instance )

as a side note, a 68 8 3/4 fury will also replace a bad 8 1/4 in a 92 Dakota...some welding
required...but the wheels are where they should be.

This has nothing to do with Crager SS wheels but those 30 1/2" axles can be a problem. My 63' Fury has the 2070539 housing using the 2070573 axle @30 1/2". This axle is made for a 741 case w/o Sure Grip. When I installed a new 742 case w/Sure Grip the axle was 1/16" to long. The 742 case requires the 2404050 axle @ 30 7/16". I shortened each axle by 1/16" and it flew...Nick

Touche,,,,,,, it finally soaked into one of the cracks,,,,,if the axles are each 31-1/2 long,,,,, the housing flange to flange has to be more than in the 50s
