As well...I "think" it's E body It's around 61.5" drum to drum (well, axle flange to flange since there are no drums on it..) and the spring perches are like 46.5" center too center. Oh, and the brakes are 11 x 2.5" .....would that make it an E body one? Thanks And this is what it looks like..

It's possible that it's a C-body rear. The only difference I have been able to find between the C and E housings is the placement of the brass T for the brake lines. I'll have to look under my Challenger,and then at a C barge rear out back to be sure. Right now it's dark,it's raining, and I'm lazy!

One person would scribe them to accommodate their method of identification and another employee (different shift) might do it differently. The exception to this is the date stampings that are done in yellow or white. Those were pretty much universal throughout the run for the rear end setup. Most of the variations you find is with the hand written markings. I personally have seen 6 or 7 different markings that were put on the round part of the painted black housing. Anything from letters to check marks or "X's" etc... It also might have been something that changed during different months of the year. There certainly is nothing better than the original markings to use as a reference!

That's what I thought............ NOW, if I can find the stencils for that.. I know Sylvain carries products such as this for hoses and such, but I need to verify rear end housings... Anyone out there have sources for the stencils? This just verifies to the na-sayers I've come across what I've told him, not all hemi cars had suregrips... Thanks alot........
