All "A" body 8-3/4 rearends are the same. It will be a direct bolt in for
yours. You can check to see that it turns smoothly and you can check the
shur-grip by getting someone to hold one wheel with something so it won't
turn and use a torque wrench on the other side. It should take about 55 ft.
lbs. to turn it without the other wheel turning. Around here the price is
probably not unreasonable if it has 355.1 gears are more. The lesser gears
don't bring as much so you have to take that into consideration. Be sure it
is the right length for a "A" body.I believe there is a length chart on this
web site.  The others don't bring as much money.  Gary Bradshaw Ft. Worth,

OK, i know this isnt quite 62-65 territory  but bear with me if u will.
   As my economy car i have a 1968 two door sedan post Plymouth Valiant/
   slant six/904 .
   of course u know i am just itching to drop a small block 340 or 360
   in there and make a  nerdy looking street sleeper.
     The lady i bought  the car from just contacted me that she had
     found the  8.75 a- body rear end she thought she  had in her barn.
     Its all setup with sure grip, brakes, axles, etc. I dont know the
     gear ratio  yet. She said she wants 750 for it. I bet I could
     wiggle her down to 650.
   My questions are :
    1) Will this fit my car.  Was an a-body 8.75 the same thru the years
    or did they have different widths spring perches, etc?
     2) What should i look for? I dont know much about rears, any way i
     can tell if its any good, what to look for, things I could check,
     etc??
       3) Is the price fair?? Or should I walk.  That seems pretty high
       to me  but i know thersee rears are rare and if the chunk was
       good  and the gears in good shape  maybe it would be worth it?
   PS:   What was that  I saying about my 68 valiant being my economy
   car?
