I also have an axle assy with a blown wheel bearing removed from a 383 '66 Coronet 500, will the third member from that fit the '65 housing and be a better choice for this scenario?

I took the one out of my '64 tapered axle rear and put it in the '68 rear that I swapped into the car last year - no problem.

If we had thought of or had knowledge of the gearing we could have used the rear end from the parts car. Too late to try to retrieve Polara rear end back because I am hauling the wagon to my Dad's shop in California in a few weeks. -- I installed the '65 rear end in the '64 Polara to keep it a "roller" also seemed logical choice if I ever made the '64 into a hot rod. Now I am working on the car again I want it more original, but lower gears probably not a big deal, and will help at stop light take offs. The wagon's rear end was installed in the '65 to keep it a roller and it went with that car. Then again, the Polara is going to have hub caps....will the '64 center section fit the '65 rear end?

The ring gear should be marked on both. On 8/28/2011 2:27 PM, Ben Morgan wrote:
