8 3/4 axels???

Valiant422 doesn't it need to be like a 66-67 or 68 B-body to work? I thought they got wider sometime in the late late 60's or 70.

perches up till 70 were only a inch further apart. 71 and later 8.75's in B's are hard to find and wouldn't work.

from 70 back the over all length changed, and if I remember right the B rear that was in my V100 was from a 66 B body.

OP if the shaft is tapered, or "necked" down, when you go to shorten the axle, there isn't enough "meat" in the shaft to make the splines.

Trucks, and wagons are the safest bet, but it is still a bet.
