Hi Bart,
Thanks for the info.
I remember reading somewhere that before the tags were used they stamped
the ratio somewhere on the center section.  

I have found an 8-3/4 rear in a junk yard but I can't turn the wheels.
It is a 741 case and I want to get it if it has a suregrip or a good
ratio.  I just don't know where to look for the ratio.

Thanks,
Ken

>From what I remember the number stamped on the side of the 65 at least
just indicated the type and not the ratio.  I'd have to go back to dig
through the book I found it in.  But I do remember being guided to
rotating the wheel to determine the ratio and not being told to look for
a stamp on the rear.


If I recall correctly, older 8-3/4 rear ends have the ratio stamped on
them instead of using a tag.
Where is the number stamped? Also, doesn't the number have a prefix for
a suregrip?
Thanks,
Ken

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
