Brian,

It sounds like we can't trust anyone to make an totally accurate
chart. I guess we will have to compile our own. Good eye by
the way Brian. 

I am sure the 742 vs the 489 is a typo, everyone knows the
difference in the two pigs, or at least I would hope so.

By the way, the quy who runs that web site - Bill Reilly is a 
great guy and a wonderful person to do business with.
A long time Mopar guy.

Earl

Earl,
I question the accuracy of a couple of dimensions on the chart. The "C" 
dimension for all 8 3/4 "B" bodies is listed at 12.35".  That might be
correct for one of the 2 diff cases used, but not for both.  The 742 was
longer than the 489 I put in to replace it.

The chart lists '62 - '70 "B" bodies with 55" flange to flange.  I needed
more clearance between the tire and the fender, so I was told to install a
'65 - '70 rear end without the tapered axles, because they are 1" narrower.
I had both rearends sitting side by side on jack stands with the brake drums
installed, and the '70 measured 1" narrower, 
outside of drum to outside of drum, just as I had been told.   I've 
already sold the '64 rearend, or I'd go out and measure them again to get
the exact dimensions...Brian
