Re: [FWDLK] rear end

[David Homstad <dhomstad@xxxxxxx>]

Robert,

I have been told by a very experienced Mopar collector that 65 to 68 "C"
body 8 3/4 rear ends would fit my 56 Dodge. I am interested in a Sure Grip.
The location of the leaf spring mounts is supposed to be the same. I am not
sure about the pinion angle. The drive shaft may require modification for
length and/or U-joint mount. This should be easy for a drive shaft shop to
do. I do not have direct experience with this change, only experienced
advice.
