There is a Springfield, Mo Swap Meet this weekend and I'm on the hunt for a Dana 60 or 8 3/4 rear. Where do I take the measurement to determine if it will fit my 1970 Barracuda.
TC_cuda gave me this info, E body rear end- E Body 70-'74= 46" between spring perches and B body B Body 68 - 70= 44" - 71 - 74 = 47.3"
He says at the spring perches, is that the center of the pad or outside end-end or is it measured at back of backing plate or from axle to axle.
If I'm also looking for a B-Body rear (to fit wider tires) how do I know if it is a B-body and how do you tell what is the difference between a B-body or and E-body.
Thanks all for your time and help!!!
