A bad day on the lift, I hope to keep others from making this same 
mistake.
I wanted to swap out my 1963 741 2:76 open rear for a mid-3 sure grip 
unit. I called Randy's Ring & Pinion and they set me up with a 742 3:55 
SG unit with new yoke/u-joint/axle bearings/seals, nice. I asked if this 
was a direct swap they said yes. I further questioned them and faxed 
them an article about axle lenght problems. They said there was no 
problems they new of, and never saw the information that I had sent 
them. They will set me up with everything and I'll have no problems.
Now that the car is on the lift and all apart, here's how my day went. 
The inner and outer axle seals would not fit, way to big. I called 
Randy's and they're not sure what will work and gave me some new part 
numbers and said for me to try NAPA. The axle bearings would not fit, 
way to big, they can't understand why, but call them tomorrow and let 
them know how I made out.
I will call as I must let them know that my axles from my 741 case will 
not fit the 742 case as they are about 1/8" to long.

Just remember this:
Axle 2070573 - 741 case w/o SG axle length 30 1/2"
Azle 2404050 - 742 case w/SG   axle length 30 7/16"
