8.750/dana question

0k got a severe case of CRS, cannot for the life of me remember,,,are the axel splines the same for both rear's?

Yes I believe they are

thanks Mike,,I have a guy at work that is having a heck of a time finding a good 8.750 posi unit for his,,,,now get this,,,a 1952 chevy street rod, it came with a 8.750 in it,he has found a Dana with a good posi and 4.10 gears and wants to have his axels fit to the dana, he plans on buying the green bearings and new tube ends and have a local fab shop do the work, I think it's a neet idea, if I could only talk him into a nice 440.

8.75 came factory with 30 splines, some Dana's did also but there are also 35 spline Dana's. The housing ends are the same if the Dana was a passenger car rear.

What year is the Dana and is it a truck or car rear? 68-69 car rear is 23 spline , 70-72 car rear is 35 spline , I think that some truck rears were 16 spline .

He needs to pull an axle on that dana and find out what it is before , plus 8.75 axles are same lenght side to side , danas aren't.
