I had both autos and 4-spd with 4.5 bc. I thought the larger bc was in the 80's. I've had a gazillion 72-80 trucks of all sorts and none were the larger bc. I've never messed with the 81-up other than my 92 1-ton.

Had a 74 pickup with 8-1/4 that had a bad axel, took a 8-3/4 out from under a 69 Fury. Knocked the perches of with a big hammer laid em on top then tightened up u-bolts. Got er lined up and welded where they sat. No problems. Can’t remember about the e brake cables.

The truck unit is 1-3/8" wider than the 71-4 B unit. Unless its from a '71-up B-body wagon which uses the same width rear as a C.

I just parted out a 73 W100 and am using the 8.75 in my 78 D100. It is 4.5 bc. 73 4x4 is 5 1/2. 2wd is 4 1/2. If you had a 4 1/2 in a 73 4x4 some one put it there. You can not put a 4 1/2 on a front with locking hubs. If you do have a 4 1/2 front it is full time and again not correct for a 1973.

I can confirm that at least a 1974 4x4 Dodge 8-3/4 bolt pattern is 5x5.5". Pulled one from a truck in Yuma back in January. Had a 489 case and I traded it off for a car transport. Kicking myself for that one.

Well alrighty then. The 73 I just parted was missing the front axle when I got it so someone maybe changed out the rear. At one time I had probably around 10 truck 8.75 rears and all had 4.5 bc axles. Love learning new stuff.

for my trucks I have found that they all will fit a truck with a little effort.
the truck housing is 59" flange to flange 43" perch centers for axle under spring. it came with 5 on 4.5 & 5 on 5.5
my 74 w100 had 59" housing 489-3.91 cone suregrip. 5 on 5.5 with 43" perch centers axle under spring
my 74 Chrysler Newport 8 3/4 is also 59" flange to flange 489-3.23 5 on 4.5
any of the 73-74 c-body 8 3/4 housings will replace a truck housing with perch change and axle interchange for wbp size 5 on 4.5 or 5 on 5.5
FYI..
A-body 8 3/4 shares same 43" perch centers for axle over spring
I also tub & lower all of my trucks using different 8 3/4 housings to fit my needs.
A-body housing with Moser large brake offset axles 5 on 4.5 12" rim 4.5 backspace 29x15x15 under my 88-440 truck with a rear shackle flip axle on top of spring
67-C-body/E-body housing 55.5" flange to flange/stock axle 12" rim 6" backspace under my 85 step side 318 truck with shackle flip axle on top of spring
I just picked up a 70 B-body 8 3/4 to use under my 86 w150 build.

I was thinking someone had the axles custom built at some point but I googled it.
