Quote: I tried www.car-part.com and turned up only one 8 1/4 rear with 2.71 gears. Found a bunch of small bolt pattern 7 1/4 rears, but they won't fit my application. Can you swap small bolt pattern axles for big bolt pattern axles?
I don't think so. I mistakenly bought a big bolt pattern 7 1/4" axle out of a '73-'76 A-body, under the impression that all big bolt pattern axles were 8 1/4". So I tried to salveage something of it by making for less work and swapping the axle shafts instead of the whole axle. They didn't fit in my '66 housing - the shafts were larger and had more splines.I do not know if the '73-'76 small bolt pattern housing will work - it might. |
