Dr Diff i believe has a kit to run new style axles in them.Probally cheaper and easier to jut get a 65 to 70 B body rear.The 65 66 for sure are the narrowest.I believe 67 is also.Rocky

One big problem is the taper set with shims.Newer axles set with the screw adjuster on the right axle.I know Dr Diff has a conversion.My 65 azle is under the kids 62 300.When we finally scrap the 66 Charger Ill save the rear from it also.Rocky

I've got one from a 66 Charger in my 64 Polara. A little wider than the orig. but bolted right in. Spring perches are in the right location. There are others that will work also,I just happened to have a friend with a Charger.

Well, I have an 8 3/4 rear end from a 66 Charger under my 64 Polara. Reason? I already had a 66 Charger parts car, so it was free.
I can't tell you if it is wider or narrower than the original, but, other than I think I had to change out one of the emergency brake cables, it bolted right in.

It should have been narrower than the original. I know mine was.
There are reference charts that show them being the same width, but when I measured my original, it was larger than chart said, and so was the one in my 64 parts car.
Let me clarify, it wasn't much narrower. Like 3/4 inch or something. It was a straight bolt in. BUT definately narrower.
First I tried to use the axles only, and there wasn't enough contact area on the splines, cause the axles were a little shorter. Then went with the housing.
I'm sure we ALL agree that getting rid of the hassel of tapered axles, was a HUGE relief
