8 3/4 install?

As for the thrust block, I just contacted Dr. Diff and he stated that if I am using a factory A body housing and factory brakes the thrust block does not have to be removed. I am using a factory housing and brakes. I have some sense of relief now. I am using Dr.diff axles and rear drum brake assembly.

If anyone has questions about axles, housings, or anything of that nature he is a good source of information. Really nice guy.

Hope fully this weekend I can get the housing assemblied and in the car. Thanks everyone.
