Hi,I'm sure this has been addressed here before but I'll ask anyway.....
How do you tell the difference between a 7 1/4 and an 8 1/4?
Would the build sheet ID which rearend you have?
Thanks

7.25" - small, more angular cover, 9 attaching bolts. 8.25" - larger, round cover, 10 attaching bolts. 8.75" - (you didn't ask) ring and pinion center section ("chunk", "pumpkin", etc.) bolts up from front, rear cover integral with axle housing. D/W |

...that's pretty handy, but a footnote should be added that most older 8.25 axles have a rounder cover than pictured. D/W |

I forget where I ran across that photo, but knew I could use it someday.  I'll see about adding a note for the earlier axles if I can. -S/6 |

So, is an 8 & 3/4 a good one? That's what it appears I have under my van. Later, Dan |

99.999% chance you will never break an 8-3/4 with a slant. -S/6 |
