Just curious...I'm kinda fuzzy on some of the early '60's cars. Is a '63 880 a B or C body? There's been a big old 4 door version in one of the local 'yards for about the last month or so. Since it was 1/2 price weekend, I grabbed the 8 3/4 shock plates ($4.. ) & oil pan ($8.50... ) from the 361. Wasn't much else to choose from; it's a rusted hulk. Anyway, I'm assuming it's a C?

"C Body" cars started in '65 when they started to use bolt on front sub/stub frames to the uni-body.

My Neighbor had a really nice one that he couldn't get the rear drums off to do a brake job (nutted axles).
Guess what? E-body rears are the exact same perch to perch and drum to drum as these cars. I just happened to have an extra housing in the back yard and it bolted in!

All the full size unibody cars have a removable stub frame back to 1960.
