Did they put 10 bolt 8 1/4" rears in 67 Coronet 500's? My buddy just picked this up and its got a 10 bolt underneath it. I've had a ton of 65-69 B-bodies over the years and never not saw at least a 8 3/4" hanging from the leaf springs. I was shocked.

No, '69 is the first year for the 8-1/4

I myself have only seen them from 1970 on.My guess is some one swapped it at some time.

I have owned and have searched for parts for 67 Coronets for many years.Even the slant 6 cars I have taken parts from in the salvage yards have 8 3/4 rear ends.

Hey, that is almost an identical car that I just picked up this past summer, except mine is a Coronet 440 and mine came with an 8 3/4. I have owned a few 67s and never seen one with an 8 1/4.

I have a factory gold 67 Coronet 500 with a 318 and it has the 8.75 rear. I have seen the smaller rear in a 69 Coronet but never in any earlier ones.

Hemi Ram that thing is sweet! I'm totally digging the TT1, it really looks sharp on that body style. Man so somehow someone ruined a 8.75" and swapped it out with a 8.25" somewhere in its life. It doesnt even look like a 10 bolt 8.25" cover, axle tubes taper down at the housing too. Man, could it be a 10 bolt late model 7.25" I wonder. I've seen those in the 80's Dippys. Have to grab a pic and post it. Doesnt matter I guess, its gotta go either way. It does have a 2.9 tag on it too. See that probably screams late model right there. Seems the older stuff always called out 2.94 on the tags and the disco stuff and newer went to the 2.4 and 2.7 and such tags. Sorry guys I blew the page width across the screen but I had to blow up Hemi Rams ride pic.

TOO BIG\WIDE FOR MOPARTS!

My 67 Belvedere I 2-dr sedan (slant 6, 3 spd) came stock w/ a 7-1/4. Not sure if they used them behind V8s, though.

I just checked my 67 FSM, and it says that "all Belvedere 6 cylinder models except station wagons, taxi and police application will be equipped with the 7-1/4" axle assembly".

From what I've heard about factory screw-ups back then, I'm sure one could have found it's way into a 318 car, or could have been swapped later by someone.

I have had two 67 coronets 1 w/ 318, 1 w/ a slant6 both 7-1/4" rear. I have never heard of one with a 8-1/4. my

Well it must be a 7 1/4". Could have swore I counted 10 bolts but you know it didnt have an oval cover either. Man I just have never saw one with anything less than a 8 3/4". I wonder what determined one 318 car got a 7.25" and another got a 8.75"? I gotta get a pic tonight and post it tomorrow.

could that picture be any bigger ?

First year for the 8 1/4 was 1969.

a 7 1/4 was removed from my S6 66 Belvedere I.was 100% original

I took the 7 1/4 out of my 66 and replaced it with a Dana 60.
