I built my 8 3/4 in my car for a shade under 600 bucks. That included the purchase of the rear, a clutch type suregrip unit and new Richmond 3:55's (489 housing), new bearings and seals throughout, all new brake hardware.
It took some patience to collect the parts, but it's done.[/QUOTE See above, thanks
This is true, it`s a reality on this website. When I was buying and collecting parts for my 505" fastback, I could find better deals most always elsewhere. A lot of rape on here ! My last encounter was w/ elec. parts .
its not just here, E-bay has gone stupid and there are a handful of local guys that do only Mopar and they think they are on the quick retirement plan as well
Would it be feasible to put a 9 inch Ram 1500 axle under it? There are plenty of them around and there pretty tough. You get the disc brakes too.
Not sure?

i seen one 8 3/4 go for 100 bucks on here, within the last month
I missed it
The Ford 8.8 rear is a cheaper alternative and it's been proven.
The 8.25 and 9.25 Chrysler rears seem to be a mystery for a lot of folks. Each can be built fairly in inexpensively, each avaible with disk brakes if you're so inclined (disk being "better" is another debate left for another thread) and each available easily enough from every "U Pull It" salvage yard from Dakotas and Durangos.
