Hi frutsy.
It depends on what parts are broken, and what diff you have. The F-bodies came with both 7.25 and 8.25 rear axles, if you have a 7.25, it may be better to try to find a car with a 8.25. They came in all F/M/J-bodies up to '89, and bolt right in. Getting a setup from a wagon will also probably add an extra spring, so in that case, try buying a complete axle with springs and all. If you don't know what axle you have, take a look at the rear axle identification info at dippy.org.

Olaf.

¡Bienvenido aqui! What year Super Bee did you find? The early ones (in Mexico) were A-bodies, not compatible with your F-body Valiant Volaré. The first year for the F-body is 1977 (late 1976) You can also use a rear axle from a rear-drive Dart made in 1977 or later, or a rear-drive Valiant/Volaré 1977 or later, or a rear-drive LeBaron 1977 or later.
