65 to 66 8 3/4 Axle Interchange

["JOHN MC ADAMS" <clafong@xxxx>]

Robert Merritt:

I cannot answer your question from experience, however from what I have read they are interchangeable.  

For the education of all, I hereby offer a very comprehensive site, complete with credit to Gary Lewallen and Doug Ahern at the "AUTO HOBBY DIGEST":
http://www.bigblockdart.com/axleinfo/8_75axle.htm

This is the most information I have found in one place on the 8 3/4 axles and "Sure Grip" differentials.

Good Luck, and 300ly

John Mc Adams

Can I switch complete rear axle housings from a 66 300 Coupe to a 65 300 L?

My uncalibrated eyeball says I can -- was wondering if anyone had any
previous experience making the swap.
