I was at a guy's place earlier this week. He showed me these two rears he got many years ago from an old guy. He said they date coded out to be a 62 and a 64. He said they both had power locks in them. He could not remember the ratio. I forget what housing was in them. the 62 has floater axles and the 64 has live axles. All axles are fine spline. Both have large brakes on them. BUT BOTH have these locating arms plus the leaf spring pad. What the heck??? What did they come out of??? A station wagon?

1965 was the first year Dodge and Plymouth switch from the old type axles to the current flange style axles.
I'm thinking there out of a C body, maybe a Imperial

I was thinking a station wagon or something large. What has us at a loss are the stabilizer arms or tracking arms.

I forgot to mention that the bolt pattern is LARGE. 5" or so.

I had a 64 300, it did not have those brackets.

Nor did it have the 5 on 5 bolt pattern.

I've never seen that setup before, but I haven't seen everything either.

Axle housings are from a Chrysler Imperial.

Agree they are from Imperials My kids 62 had the same brackets on top.My 66 didnt have them so they are early and probally like 270 gears.Rocky

the 5 x 5 bolt pattern confirms it

Thanks guys! I'll let him know. I told him I'd find out pretty quickly on here. You guys rock! Thanks!

imperial they are. was used up to at least 69, as my 69 sedan had them, plus the 5x5 bolt pattern. i can't say for sure when this was discontinued.

moparx I know for sure my 70s didnt have them Cant remember if the 66 and 69 did.Still have the 70 rear sitting in the old garage.

rocky, my 69 crown had them for sure. we always said the "traction bars" were installed wrong from the factory.

Here I was aggravated that Mopar went to that GM 5 on 5 pattern here in the last decade or so.....and you guys show me that Ma Mopar had that in the early sixties....interesting.....you learn something every day.....LOL

the 57 and 58 imperials i had back in the mid 70's were also 5 on 5" bc, but were 14" wheels.
