Anyone with a slant 6 or 318 A-body have a build sheet proving it actually left the factory with said 8-3/4"?

You fellow junk yard dogs need to be checking the rears on all the A-bodies you find. Even /6 cars. Just picked up this 71 Dart /6 3-sp w/ disc and 8.75 A friend has a 72 Duster that he bought from the original owner. /6 auto w disc and 8.75
I thought everyone knew this already...I picked up a 3.23 posi one locally for $50 and got my buddy everything else for $150.... The car:

Gotcha again... NO 4.11 gears in any traditional Mopar axle.... 4.10 was the closest!
Baited you on that one....Real Mopar guys will tell you otherwise....Let's see if they show up and tell the truth....

Im no stranger to the fact either. I built my Slant 6 70 Dart with an 8.75 rear end. My slant physically broke the gears in the 7 1/4. I didn't want to be stranded again so I slipped in a 70 B-Body 8.75. Freshened up the 3.23s and I was off again. My slant was notoriously a torque monster and breaking stuff left and right.

you don't think its possible for a slant to have come with a 8 3/4?

Anything was possible, however I've yet to see any definitive proof. EVER.

One of my Dusters. 1971 318, A904 and 3.23 8 3/4 rear end. It had the console w/orange buckets and door panels. I changed them to black after I got it though. I was 2nd owner. Notice the trailer hitch on the back.

So there was no broadcast sheet in the dart but the duster has one, what code do I look for?

I have a 71 dart w a 225 and an 8 3/4. Bought the whole car for $150. Beautiful grill, bezels, hood, front/rear valance, rim blow steering wheel, and the 8 3/4. What a rust bucket, but some nice parts.
