Re: Fw: 62 Polara 741 rear end

[NICHOLAS TIBERIO <furyus63@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bill,

To answer your question, if your '62 741 carrier is without Sure Grip, (NO). To use a carrier with Sure Grip the axles would have to be shortened by 1/16", from 30 1/2" to 30 7/16".

I have done this twice so far, replacing a 741 case non-Sure Grip with a 742 case Sure Grip. It takes about 45 minutes per side. The reason you have to shorten the axles is that prior to 1964 the thrust blocks were 1/8" thicker requiring 2 different axle lengths. in '64 the thrust block became standard allowing one length axle to be use for Sure Grip or non-Sure Grip units.
