'73 and up disc brake cars had different axels too. They will definitly not interchange with an earlier housing. The center section should though.

This was from an earlier post- from the good doctor, It will help "The 60-62 (and even some early 63s) have a real small axle bearing that has been "NA" for some time now. Here are some other numbers to search for: New Departure # D88506FR Also show RW206FFR and RW206CCR as listings. If you run accross a later (64-72+) 7 1/4 rearend with the larger bearing axles, grab it along with the backing plates and think about swapping over to that (more common) set-up. DD" Hope that helps |
