Have any of you guys ever swapped a B body housing into a C body?
I am considering pulling the drivetrain from my 02 Dakota to power my 77 Gran Fury. 5.2 magnum, A518, 4.30 suregrip.
The Dakota currently has a 67 B body rear I added when the original 8.25 gave up.
Just wondered if the B body rear fit the C body without getting into mini tubbing, etc.

Your 67 B body rear end is one of the narrowest 8 3/4's, and your 77 has one of the widest rear tracks. In 1970 the C bodies had the rear track and spring spacing widened, and then in 71 on up, they added the rubber isolation which added even more bulk behind the brake backing plates. I doubt the 67 rear end would allow space for the rubber isolated business. I'd suggest dumping all the rubber isolation stuff, and using a 1970 C body rear end. It will bolt together, firm up the handling too. Just make sure you change the spring center pins to the normal early pins.

I will see what I can find. If nothing else I have a truck housing I can use and relocate perches and get narrowed if needed.

Nice to see that horrible POS axle lengths chart still floating around. There is a better one in the tech archives that is correct
