Dont play with B body axles--there are 3 or 4 different widths of axles to get lost in----when you replace an axle shaft you have to buy custom made----




Yeah... GREAT advice if you have loads of cash laying around. A body housings are easily 3 times the cost of a 62-70 B housing.
CUSTOM Axles? Why not REuse the shafts that came in the stock rear end? If they look good and you don't intend to run 400 horsepower on slicks, you'll be fine. Even if you want to upgrade, just order a replacement set in the stock length. You worry too much. I have a 67 B housing in a 67 Dart and I used STOCK 15x7 steel wheels with no interference problems.
