Re: re:a body 8.75 rears

[Menko Johnson <menkoj@xxxxxxxxx>]

Another option, if you can find them, is a 73-76 A body with discs
that got the 7.25 instead.  That axle will fit perfectly in your 8.75
and will be BBP.

Seems a bit steep even at $650, I've seen them around on moparts and
other areas for less.  Once again depends on how good the condition
and the gear ratio.

Do you want 3.55s on your daily driver?
