Tech Question
Michael Peterson, sedro-woolley, WA, 73 Plymouth Scamp 360
Hello, I found a 8-3/4" rear end out of a 1972 1/2-ton truck. I was wondering if it could be used in my '73 Scamp without major mods? It will not be a full race car, just for fun. It now has a 7-1/4 "
If you mean just the pig, sure. Find an A-body housing and axles and bolt it together. It would also be possibel to shorten the housing and relocate the perches (to stock A-body specs), keep the truck rear brakes, and use 4.5" bolt pattern axles (Moser, Yukon, etc.). If you get real luckly - (finding enough large-diameter "bare" length) - the truck's axles might even be able to be shortened to A-body length.
