Do you have "tapered axles" or "tapered bearings" in the rear?

Sure-grips require special length tapered (keyed) axles.

In other words, if you swapped a sure-grip into a pre '65 rear originally equipped with an open differential, you will have major problems.

Supposedly axle lengths were standardized in 1964, but I have never been able to confirm that.


Unfortunately this was addressed 6? years ago, I thought everything measured up fine, it does have 2k miles on it, but i am not sure how a screw up would finally show up, so this definitely needs looking at when coming apart.

To answer your question, they are tapered axles with OEM tapered bearings.

Thanks

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
