thinking about picking up a 8 3/4 rear end, has a 489 case posi 3.23, but looked at several sites and cant figure out what it came out of, it’s 48.5 inches from center perch to center perch, any ideas? Mainly want it for the chunck but also was to see how sellable the housing and axles will be that I will not need, thanks
 
Are the purches on the top of the housing tubes = truck (or van?)
A local guy buys housings for about 150.00 he modifies them to your specs axles dont seem to sell. Brake parts will sell.

Good call, looked back at a pic and they do look to be on top, guy was positive it came out of a bBody, guess I was scratching my head over the tape measure missed the obvious, thanks

Truck and van 8 3/4” stuff is actually a pretty good sell. Take the center and list the rest on the truck sites, all that stuff will sell.
