How to Narrow an 8 3/4 Rear End

Hmm ok. I'll have to check what the diameter is, mine is the leadmine kit. I suppose I could always have my machinist open up the inner diameter a bit.

I've got a couple of hot rod projects too, and a couple of C-body 8 3/4's from the local yards because they seem to show up on occasion and they're practically a steal, $160 for a complete 8 3/4 with brakes and a center chunk. Since the C-body axles can be cut down I figured the kit was a good investment, but I haven't had the need to use it yet. Figured it might come in handy too if I 4-link my duster, just to make sure the housing stays straight when I weld on the brackets.

That's funny, I tore the axles out of 3 different C bodies last week, and all were tapered shaft, I guess they came both way's from what I understand, but yeah for $160 I'd buy them all day long and shorten them to re-sell !! Our local yard has about 10 different 8 3/4's that I know of, and there $250 complete, with a $50 core charge :wack:
