How do I find an 8 3/4 rear in the jy

Find someone to shorten a rear. Then any 8 3/4 housing can be made to work since A body's use the shortest rear housing. Did it all the time.
Yup. My Dart has mini-tubs and inboard springs. I'm going to fit big tires and rims into the tubs and then shorten a C body 8.75 to fit. Don't want to ruin my A body one.
You might go back and see about snagging that truck unit. Always could sell it if you don't use it. People are wanting them too. The 72-74 unit will bolt right into a 75-93 truck.
