looking for a suregrip 7 1/4 rear. People used to give them away for free. Or close to it. Just wondering if anyone in the seattlee area may have one for cheap or free. Thanks

Huh. I have been messing with slant sixes for almost 20 years in the Seattle area and I have never seen a 7 1/4 sure-grip axle. Craigslist or boneyards are your best bet. Try all american classics. They will deliver!

For sure you will not find one for free, and likely not all that cheap. They are just getting pretty rare.

A better alternative would be a Ford 8.8 axle. This swap has ben discussed on here before.

Well they certainly made plenty of 7 1/4 sure grip rear differentials. Ive owned a few in my day. I guess they are not as plentiful as years past. Anyway, i guess ill take the 8.8 ford advise. What do those come in? And will they be the same width as early a bodies?

I would be willing to trade for a smaller one

I just put a Ford 8" rear out of a Granada in my Dart, at it works fine. I think the year is 1978. The early Mustang rear parts will fit it.
