7 1/4 to 8 3/4 info needed

Go for the 8 3/4 all the way. But is the 8 3/4 that they are rebuilding from an A-Body or B-Body?
They take A, B, C etc and make it the correct length and weld (that's what I don't like. all the cutting and welding and scars left behind) perches on in the correct location and angle. I assume but haven't investigated yet that they have the correct tools to straighten after the welding so everything is aligned correctly.
