I've been offered a full 2.93 BBP rear end w/wheels - and tires for what that's worth - for $200. DEAL or DON'T DEAL? Maybe?

I paid $200 for a '76 Duster disc brake parts car. It's your money.

They tell me it's an 8.25" BBP off a '73 Duster auto/V-8. They said "10 bolt." They said brakes and all are in great shape. I haven't seen it yet. No point in driving that far unless I have a clue whether I'm getting bilked.

I went out there, but the state requires escorts in the yard for safety purposes and they were all busy. Whatever became of the "reasonable and prudent man" who had better sense than to walk under a hoisted hulk or whatever?

Thanks

So did you have a comment for the 8.25"?

Thanks

The 8.25 will require you to find a shorter driveshaft or have your shortened.

Not familiar with Duster rears in particular, but I can get a replacement 8.25 for my pickup for around $150 (drum to drum) at the local yard back home.

for what it is worth, the local pick a part here in the south east gets
$67.86 for ANY rear end "drum to drum"

just my .02 cents

Thanks. Got an old timer a few miles away to do that.

Well, add a couple wheels and radials with over half the tread. Not too far off.

Thanks

Sounds interesting. How far would I have to drive from here in anti-Mopar country (Ooltewah, TN) to grab one?

Thanks.

A complete rear drum to drum with wheels and tires for $200 sounds like a good deal to me, as long as you are satisfied with the ratio.
I am in MOPAR country, 2 years ago at the Pittsburgh slant six races I picked up an A-body 8 3/4 complete drum to drum with 3.23's and a sure grip which was exactly waht I was looking for, for $250. Only my brother in law can find deals like that though.
