The 8.75 carriers are interchangeable from '57 forward
many years.

Some years ago I hauled a
complete rear axle assembly I pulled out from
under a 57 NewYorker 4 door to
a repair place. I myself removed it from
the car I junked in the early
70's
It languished for years buried somewhere in the garage. When one
of the
boys and I re-discovered it, it turned out to be a limited slip
unit.
Imagine my suprize!!
Well, the shop owner understood what I
wanted to use this in, and knew
before he opened it up that it was a limited
slip, But the work didn't
get done as soon as I expected, he needed me
to revisit the shop before
he completed the work. Turns out the
limited slip part of the axle was
dated 1970!! the gears were marked
and ID'ed as a much newer unit then
the rest of the axle housing and other
parts.
