Does anyone know if the 60-62 Valiant & 61-62 Lancer had tapperd or flanged drive shafts?
If tapperd; I would'nt mind pictures...

Go to How-To articles in the top header. I'm sure there is something there to help.S O R R Y ! ! ! I mean axel shafts...
The knockeddowns in Sweden used all US parts Proffesor Fate.
So does anyone have pictures, preferably with & whithout brake parts?
A-bodies all used flanged axle shafts. Tapered axle shafts (the ones with a keyway and axle nut) were used in the other models up through 1964. After '64 all Mopars used flanged axle shafts. '60-65 A-bodies only had a 7 1/4 rear end as standard. The 8 3/4 came out in late '65 for the '66 model year as an option, and in some cases, a dealer replacement for the earlier models.Does anyone know if the 60-62 Valiant & 61-62 Lancer had tapperd or flanged drive shafts?

Thank you. I was hoping sooner or later someone would get it right. lolA-bodies all used flanged axle shafts.

I'm sure you are right. I'm more familiar with b-bodies of that vintage, and just assumed.Yes, ALL A-bodies had flanged axles.
Look at the cover to identify.Now I really wonder what kinda car my axel comes from since it's so narrow...

I see that now. The offset liiks like a Ford out of a Broncco or Ranger. LOLDoesn't look Mopar to me. Are those axle nuts on the ends of the axle shafts? What is the bolt pattern of the wheels?
