I have two 7.25 rear ends one has 3.23's and the other 2.91 gears for my 1964 Dart. Are the axles the same for both rear ends? Can I take the axles out of one rear put new bearings on them and install them in the other no matter the gear ratio?

The axle shaft assembly (including axle bearing) for the 7 1/4 came in 3 different types. 1960 thry 62 (and some 63s) had the small bolt pattern (SBP) & the smallest axle bearing. 64 thru 72 (and many 73 - 76 SL6 only A-Body) also had the SBP axle with a larger axle bearing. 73 - 76 went to the large bolt pattern and even a larger axle bearing. the LBP & 5 axle retaining plate nuts are the way to ID these units. Based on the fact the a 7 1/4 is weak and many get swapped over the years so check axle bearing size before buying parts. DD |

Thanks DD will do the check before buying bearings.
