I am in SW Michigan and am looking for a complete 8.25 or 8.75 rear end to fit a 1969 Dart (to replace a 7.25). It doesn't have to be completely restored/rebuilt, but would like something that could be rebuilt with some elbow grease. Preference would be somewhere in the neighborhood or 3.23 or 3.55, but I'm willing to change them out.

Thanks.
 
I have a complete 8.25 with a 4.10 posi, complete drum to drum, BBP, from my 75 Duster, asking US$650. I am in Toronto, could meet in Windsor/Detroit if that works for you
 
You'd be money ahead doing the Ford 8.8 swap.
 
I have them in my phone and don't know how to put them on here yet. heres my cell# ican text the pics to you. Phone number removed by staff

To each of you, I appreciate you getting back with me. Unfortunately, I just found out that I will need to have ankle surgery in a little over a week. That means I won't be able to do this right now. When I get back up on my feet at least, I will check back and see if you still have these available. I will definitely still be in the market. Thanks and sorry again.

No problems, take care of your self first.....

I agree it's cheaper but I just did one and found out the 8.8 axle tubes are much lighter duty (3/16" thick vs. 3/8" thick) than 8-3/4 tubes so your saving money but not getting as much bang for your buck. Plus to do it right you need the pucks and bar to get things straight. The one I just did looked fine until I put the pucks in and tried to get the bar through. One tube was bent about 1/8" and the other was about 1/4" off. IMHO the 8.8 isn't much stronger than a 8.25. Another problem with a 8.8 is you can't really get the driveshaft perfectly centered unless you cut down the short side 1/4" too and that is a problem with the axle length. If you just cut the long side down and make it the length of the short side the driveshaft is 1/4" off side to side. Hoping the one I just did (my first) doesn't vibrate or eat U-joints
