a pic of the 8 3/4 that was on the 69 RR. Had traction bars. Isn't a sure grip - I know anything can happen in the past changing parts - Are there any vin numbers stamped anywhere like the engine and 4 speed ?

Mopar assembling lines would use what parts they had as long as the gear ratio was proper for that cars 8 3/4 The other thing to keep in mind is who knows what happened to that car before you got it, many Hemi and Max Wedge cars ended up on use car lots with non stock B and LA motors in them

So its possible they would have had an A31 car without a sure grip or is that the giveaway that the pumpkin has been changed ?

By the way - tied into this mornings post about axle tension - this one spins like the 3.55 so I guess I'd better check the bee's 3:91

the 3:91 sure grip wasn't produced in the 741 ? Yes it was but most of the ones I have found were in 68 down light duty pickups.

Pumpkin changed, A31 B body would have had a 489 case, A31 includes SUREGRIP so no it is not possible to have one unless the factory installed the wrong chuck in the housing. What is the date stamped on the ring gear , an A100 I think could be had with a 3.91 with no sure grip and a 741 case.

My 1969 GTS Dart H code 4 speed car(SPD in 9-68) has the original 741 case 3.91 gears clutch type posi in it still Never say never I want to say you got hosed then ??? I am 99.9% sure my May 69 build 383 4 speed GTS has a 489 ... There is no VIN on any Chrysler rear, only date codes, and BOM on Danas ...

I traded the original owner for that car, I didn't buy it new. He had been a dealership mechanic but he was a flake also, he insisted that the rear end was the original one that came in the car, he had no reason to lie about that I didn't say it had any I.D. numbers on it, only that it was a 741 case with a clutch type posi and 3.91 gears in it I'm not exactly sure when Mopar started installing the 489 cases and the other Eaton type posi, I know it was sometime in the 1969 production year
