Re: Early 8 3/4 Rear Axles

[Dan McCormack <mcwheels@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Marcus you have the same problem that I do with my 63 Fury. If you check the 
section under "Thrust Block Variations" in that article I sent you'll find 
that Sure Grips and open differentials manufactured before 1964 used two 
different length axles. So to put a Sure Grip in your 62 (or my 63) we'd 
have find a set of axles out of a 62/63 Sure Grip car or have ours machined. 
I think it's probably easier to just use a newer rear end.
