67 9-1/4 rear?

Looking thru the 67 Plymouth service manual, looking in the section on the rear axels. It says the Hemi 4 speed uses the Dana -9-3/4 but the 440 4 speed used the -9-1/4 rear. I personally have never seen one and was under the assumption the Dana was used. Would this 9-1/4 be the same as the 70-80 truck rear? I did part out a 68 and 69 440 4 speed car and both had the 9-3/4 dana. Was it a one year only thing?

Hemi 4-speed and 440 4-speed B-bodies came with a 9 3/4" Dana 60 rear.

440 4-speed C-bodies came with a 9 1/4" Dana 53 rear. This is not the same as the newer 9.25" Chrysler corporate rearend.

What I thought to, from the 1967 Plymouth service manual. 67 first year for the 440 in the b-body’s right

Wow, not too many of those puppies around.

Factory Dana 53 that I removed from a 1967 Fury 440-4 speed

Typo

Here is another one 3.31,perfect fit in a 62 B-body,no alterations what so ever.

What I figured a typo, Checked today on my buddy’s 67 440 X, Dana for sure.

Not a typo, the Dana 53 has a 9 1/4" ring gear. From the '67 C-Body manual:

The original post was about the service manual stating of a 9-1/4 Dana in a B body. yet no such animal exists
THATS a typo.

Read the OP again, no mention of what body in either the header or the text, only says "67 Plymouth service manual".

I showed the book (all bodies) and the paragraph, said 440 4 speeds came with the 9-1/4 rear, Dana was EXCLUSIVELY (highlighted) for the Hemi 4 speed. So the book gave the wrong info, not enough info or was a typo. Made it sound like 440 b-bodies came with the 9-1/4 in 67 which I doubted but Chrysler did some crazy things. So I asked.
Looking up I see we’re referencing two different books.

I believe its the interpretation. The manual references the two distinct axles. The car ordering and options would be dependent on the individual car line. The Dana 60 9/3/4 is stated exclusively for the 4 speed Hemi. I do not find the manual in error as it is a general repair for all models. It leaves the guy working on the axle the option to select what axle he is working on.

Then the word exclusively should not of been used.

Exclusively used because the 4 speed and Hemi got it period.

Well it’s not exclusive if the 440 4 speed GTX (b-body) got the 9-3/4 also. It implies the 4speed Hemi is the only one that gets the Dana 60 which it clearly doesn’t.

That's part of my point. Other models may have the Dana depending on the order system. Exclusive means that this is all that is available or what you are going to get on a car ordered with the Hemi and a 4 speed no matter what model..

Bill,how then did I end up with the one that went in my 62 with absolutely no modifications ?

No 9-1/4" Dana was ever avail as factory installed rear axle in a B-body. Period

I’m 99% sure in 67 the 9-3/4 was not offered in c-bodies, a-bodies. Trucks got the full floating Dana in 3/4 ton and bigger. I’d like to know the width of the c-body 35, drum to drum

Width of the 67 C-body dana I removed was 61 5/8 drum to drum and is regarded as such.
I do know it was a direct fit into an E-body.
E-body dana width drum to drum is 61 3/4.
Spring perch distance center to center of both the E-body 9 3/4 dana and the C-body 9 1/4 dana is 46 " for both.
As I stated, it bolted right into an E-body

I had a 69 Fury III 4-door 383 2-bbl as my first car and it had a Chrysler 9-1/4 rear, it was my second car. I believe that was the first use of the non-Dana 9-1/4 in a Chrysler product. Of course it blew up and I parted out the car...

But did you check the pinion angle?

The gist of this thread is that the OP cited a FSM that is not body specific. The quote from the FSM is relative to C-bodies only.

Yep , the fsm should have said the cars had rears, engines, trans and wiring and left it at that, why do we need a service manual?
EXCLUSIVE, Webster’s definition; not shared - available to only one person or group.
Hemi engine 4 speed has 9-3/4 ONLY, so it’s wrong wording or typo or whatever you want to call it, not generic or body specific.
a-body b-body c-body has nothing to do with my point

Yep.. I know what the the gist of the thread is...I was merely answering cudaman1969's last question stating he'd
..."like to know the width of the c-body 35 drum to drum"......which I provided.
The rest is just an interesting observation regarding what the 9 1/4 C dana will bolt right into should someone ever stumble onto one.

I have an NOS C-body Dana 53 housing.

Cool, what else did they use the 35 in?

I've seen Dana 53 rears in Jeep pickups and 50's Lincolns.

I have a Dana out of an International Scout with 5-bolt axles, is is a 60 or a 53?

DANA 44

Scouts used a few different Dana axles and all were 5 lug.

Could be a 27, 30 or 44. Year and engine can help determine.

I have a Dana 44 from a Scout, has the same 30-spline on the axles as an 8 3/4".
