Meet the Beast!! 10's on 5k???

throwing out random thoughts
recently i sourced a ford exploder and took the rearend and leaf springs and hangars.
this ended up fitting almost perfectly into an M body mopar.
it is an 8.8 and has 3:73 gears with limited slip.
these rears arent too bad if a little work is done on them...?
esp if you get 2 of them and make one,and they are everywheres in junkyards.
in my case,i bought 2 junkers and stripped them and then scrapped them for my money back plus some.

the a body 8-3/4 shown above tho...wow.
who woulda thought that would fit so perfectly? esp with the big tires wheels on it.
ty for sharing that @68dodge and btw Nice Truck !
what do you run for power and what does it run ??

as far as the late model rears go,the pinion bearings/crush are always going out on those.
use a spacer kit if you go that way to eliminate the crush.
Truck has a 505 in it, best so far was 11.30s. Made some changes since then, even changed the strut rods since this picture. Have to see if its any better this spring.
